There are no occult forces. There arc only luminous 
forces. Occult force is chao>, the luminous force is Ciod. 
Man I at his best] is an intinite little copy of God; this 
is glory enough for man. 1 am a man, an invisible 
atom, a drop in the ocean, a grain of sand on the khore. 
Little as I am, I feel the God in me • • • When I go 
down to tlie grave I can say, like many others, I have 
finished my day's work; but I cannot say I have finished 
my life. My days will begin again next morning. The 
tomb is not a blind alley; it is a thoroughfare. It closes 
on the twilight to open on the dawn. — \lCTOR Hugo.

It is among the foremost duties of every person not

character of the parents, but to improve upon and add to 
this nobility as much as possible by the best, and per- 
sistent, efforts. 



INTRODUCTORY 



The Orijin* of the Surname Slocombe^ Slocum, etc., iz ov 
local karakter, coming from the location ov an early setler at the 
Combe in southwestern England coverd by luxuriant growth ov the 
Sloe (wild plum) trees; hence John at the Slocombe, etc. This sur- 
name haz a wider ranj ov spelings in America than in England, 
twenty or mor forms having been gatherd here by the writer. The 
form Slocum haz been continuus from the time ov Anthony^ in New 
England and westward. See Volume I ; and Skech I in this Volume.

Coat ov Arms 



A copy ov the Coat ov Arms ov 'Slocombe of Somersetshire' cn- 
gravd in colors, waz bound in Volume I ov this jenealojilc work. 
That ther may remain no misconception regarding this Heraldic bear- 
ing, it iz here repeted that this copy waz made by the writer from' 
Harleian MS. No. 1385 in The British Museum Library, London, 
wher it waz rufly skecht with pen and ink. This MS. iz record, 
in part, ov the report ov the Herald's Visitation ov Somersetshire 
about the year 1573. The krisnd name ov the Slocombe to whom 
it waz granted, or to whom it belongd in 1573, haz not been deter- 
mind. While it evidently haz remaind in England without a claim- 
ant for many jenerations, and Anthony the first recorded imigrant to 
America waz mentiond az 'of the nobility' ther haz not been found 
any definit evidens that this bearing belongd to him.f 



The Imigrations ov Slocombes to America. 

Nearly all ov the Slocums and Slocumbs in America ar desendants 
ov Anthony the first imigrant. 

* No explanation iz givn why this mark* iz plast after twenty five names 
ov diferent familiz between 20 July, 1641, and 5 April, 1643, az recorded in 
the Parish Register. It might reznabli be inferd that the persons whoz nams 
ar thus markt died ov the plag which then prevald. 

t See Volume I, footnote, Pajez 23, 24. 



b THE SLOCUMS, SLOCUMBS, AND SLOCOMBS, OF AMERICA 

It appears probabl that a later family imigration vvaz the sors ov 
most ov the Slocombs. 

Other imigratlons folowd, az noted herewith, with referens to 
family number if ncsessary for record ov desendants. 

Perhaps thoz ov the name, with interest in the great extent ov their 
American lineaj, should feel complimented by the adoption ov their 
surnam by diferent familiz from diferent kuntriz wher they wer 
known by other surnams. 

The list ov Slocombe imigrations, with perhaps som transients, in 
kronolojik order is az folos, viz.: 

1630-37, A. D. Anthony 'Slocum' and wife, Family i; with sons Giles 
Family 2; Edward; Joseph Family lA; and John i B. 

1695. George 'Siacomb' (giv broad sound to the a) Family A 789. 

1701. Simon 'Slocom' marid in Boston; Family 666*. 

1707, June 26. "Tim" Slocum on board galley; no Polls [family or pasen- 
jerz] no Negroes. Rents £3 00s ood. Landlord, Mr Gee."* 

1709. Tabitha 'Slocome' waz marid 13 November to William Bridgham, 
in Boston by Rev. Sam. Miles.* 

1716, June 6. John Slocomb Captain ov ship Eliza from London, arrivd 
in Boston Harbor with pasenjerz, Henry Caswell a merchant, and Benjamin 
Edwards a mariner.* 

1716, July 7. Simon Slocomb Captain ov 'ye Sloop Success from Maryland' 
arrivd in Boston Harbor without pasenjerz. t This Simon iz probably the one 
marid ther in 1701; and from the data it is inferd that George ov 1695, this 
Simon, Tabitha, and Timothy, wer ov the sam family, or closly related. 

1767, Aug. 27. Robert Slocombe, Philadelphia. Fam. 783. 

1800. David Betts, born about the year 1790 in Wales, or Hartford, Devon- 
shire, England, arrivd in America about 1800. When twelv years ov aj he 
waz adopted by a Slocum family living in New Bedford, Mass., or on an iland 
near; and they gave him the name William Frederick Slocum by which he 
waz afterwards known. See Familiz (768, 769t) Volume L Thomas Wil- 
liams Slocum (vi. ov 769) born 26 Jan., 1867, Jamaica Plain, Boston, waz 
graduated A.B. Harvard 1890. He haz becom a prominent deler in dry 
goods in Boston, and in New York wher he 1906 rezides. 

1828, about. Job Slocombe came from County Somerset, England, to a farm 
near east Syracuse, New York. He ther died, leving thre or four children. 
His son William, born in 1830, died ther 1 November, 1885, on his 55th birth-

AND THEIR ALLIANCES 9 

THE SLOCUMS IN AMERICA 
Family 1 (1) 

Anthony Slocombe^ born in England about January, 1590-91, 
and recorded by the clerk az Anthony Slocum from 1637 to 1662 
inclusiv, in Taunton, New Plymouth, now Massachusetts, waz 
namd az the common ancestor ov the Slocums in America in the 
writer's Preliminary to the 8locum Genealogy publisht October, 1880, 
in The New England Historical and Genealogical Register volume 
xxxiv, pajes 391-395; also in my First Volume ov 644 pajes octavo 
entitld A Short History of the Slocums, Slocumbs, and Slocombs of 
America, etc., publisht in 1882. The name Anthony az the head ov 
the American Slocum family haz been fully alcsepted by genealogists 
and others who hav had occasion to copy from my work ; which many 
ov them, I regret being oblijd to state, hav done without giving credit 
to the sors ov their information. 

But litl haz been found in New England during the last twenty- 
five years in addition to the records ov this Anthony as givn in the 
First Volume ov this work; and nothing haz been found to warrant 
chanj in the skech ther givn, exsepting the surmizd rezon for hiz 
departure from Taunton and hiz loss to record in New England. 

The public records ov Taunton wer destroyd by fire in the year 
1838, and it iz not definitly known when the first setlment waz ther 
effected. If the records destroyd by fire containd the date ov such 
setlment and the names ov the setlers previus to 1637, Francis Baylies 
did not copy them into hiz Historical Memoir of the Colony of New 
Plymouth which waz printed in 1830.* This valuabl Memoir, and 
the Records of the Colony of New Plymouth, wer the sorses ov much 
ov the interesting record ov Anthony Slocum in the First Volume ov 
this work. The first item regarding him iz the list ov the forty-six 
'first and ancient purchasers' A. D. 1637 ov the teritory ov Cohannet. 
This tract ov land waz rather romboidal in general outline, about 
eight miles in extent ov each ov its four sides, and comprizd about 
forty-one thousand akers. It waz purchast ov the Aborigine Sachem 
Massasoit at a price ov two shilings per aker. Deed ov it from him 



* Baylies includes the account ov the journey thru the site ov Taunton in 
1621 ov Edward Winslow and Stephen Hopkins, Mayflower pasenjerz on their 
way to visit Sachem Massasoit. He also mentions the tradition ov setlers ther 
az early az 1626. 



10 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA 

haz not been found. His son 'King Philip' confirmd the titl in 1663, 
and he was then prezented with £16 additional payment. 

The interest ov the several purchasers ov Cohannet for setlment in 
1637 waz in the ratio ov six, eight, and twelv; Anthony Slocum sub- 
scribing for eight shares. The 3 March, 1639, O. S. this tract ov 
land, or mor particularly their villaj setlment, waz incorporated with 
the name Taunton ; and the river by which they built their houses 
waz also named Taunton* in onor ov the shire town and river in 
Somersetshire, southwestern England, whens this band ov liberty 
sekers had migrated. It iz probabl that they came in one or mor ov 
the ships Arbella, Mary, or John, and landed at Dorchester which iz 
now within the corporation ov Boston. 

Anthony waz recorded in August, 1643, at Taunton among the 
fifty-four persons ther, between the ajez ov sixteen and sixty years, 
abl to bear arms for military duty;t also recorded in 1650 and 165 1 
as juryman. 

Big iron ore waz noted in such larj quantitiz around Taunton that 
a stock company waz formd 21 October, 1652, for its reduction. By 
'free vote of the town, permission waz givn to bild a dam for water 
power and to . . "set up a Bloomery Work on the Two Mile River 
[tributary to the Taunton River] . . that they shall have the 
woods on either side . . to cut for their wood to make coals, and 
also to dig and take moine or ore at Two Mile Meadow, or in any 
of the commons appertaining to the town." . . The share price 
in the company waz set at £20 ful share, £10 half share, and £> a 
quarter share. Anthony Slocum waz enrold as a member, but the 
amount ov hiz holdings is not found. The iron works did not start 
until 1656; and not any ov the product waz shard for th re years. 

* Taun is Gaelic for River. Taunton iz contraction ov Taun Town, Town 
by the River. 

t The necessity for being armd and redy at any moment for self protec- 
tion in the wilderness waz evident to the Colonists from the time ov their first 
setlment ; but ther waz no generaly prescribd cors for unity ov action until 
the confederation ov the Coloniz ov New England, effected at Boston 29 May, 
1643. Therin the several General Courts wer advizd to attend particularly 
to the arms and equipments ov the citizens ov their Coloniz, their ammunition, 
stors, etc., and to report anyualy to the Commissioners. Six anual trainings, 
at least, wer orderd to be givn thruout the Coloniz. The proportion ov men 
to lie raisd in the (liferent Coloniz in case ov war or iminent danjer, waz fixt 
by the Commissioners at the abuv date as folos: Massachusetts Bay 150; 
PIvmoth 30; Connecticut 30; New Haven 25. Rhode Island and Providence 
Plantations wer not included in the confederation at this time, being alienated 
on account ov the diferent religius belief held therin.

AND THEIR ALLIANCES II 

According to records found later years in distant houses ther wer in 
the year '1659, 400 shared. 1660, a ton of iron sould to buy goods 
whi: were divided.' The works wer least i April, 1660, to thre 
persons who formd a new company, including Anthony Slocum; and 
the works wer operated profitably until King Philip's War when ther 
waz much destruction ov property by the savajes. This waz the first 
sucsesful, and permanent, iron manufactory in this country. During 
the earlier years the company waz a veritabl bank on which every 
biznes man, including the yeomen, paid the minister, and for every 
purchas, by an order for a dezignated quantity ov iron equal to the 
obligation. Sucseding members ov the company enlarjd the industry 
until the product ov iron manufacturd, including tacks and small 
nails, at Taunton in 1889 amounted to $2,000,000, the ore and fuel 
being brought from distant plases.* 

Anthony Slocum waz admitted Freeman ov Taunton 3 June, 1657. 
To secure this onor it waz necessary for everyone to hav the testimony 
ov his nabors that he waz 'of sober and peaceable conversation, and 
Orthodox in the Fundamentals of Religion' and he must declar under 
oath that he waz over one and twenty years ov aj, and that he had, a 
ratabl estat in the government ov at least £20. Anthony waz a mem- 
ber ov the Grand Jury 7 June, 1659; and at the division ov land, 
agreed upon 28 December, 1659, ov 'two acres to the head, two acres 
to the shilling, and two acres to the lot' he had a rating or tax ov 
nineteen shilings and four pence; with household ov six heads; and 
fifty-thre akers ov land. 

Az one ov the two Survaors ov the Highways 3 June, 1662, iz the 
last time that Anthony Slocum's name haz been found recorded at 
Taunton. Soon after this date he dispozd ov his holdings ther to 
Richard Williams, and movd with Ralph Russell into the wildernes 
ov the southwestern part ov New Pymouth which waz incorporated 
in 1664 with the name Dartmouth. It has been prezumed that he 
setld in the southern part ov Dartmouth 'by Pascamanset River which 
has since been more generally known as Slocum's River' and the neck 
ov land to the west ov it has been known as Slocum's Neck.f Thez

names hav been perpetuated by the setlmcnt ther ov his grandchildren 
Giles^ (5) Peleg^ (8) Mary^ (10) and Eleazer^ Slocum (11) and 
their desendants. Here the story ov Anthony Slocum ends in New 
Plymouth and New England so far az determind by the writer. 

It waz not until the persistent and systematic serch and rescrch 
instituted by the \\riter in 1886 among the Slocumbs, and the old 
records, ov North Carolina, and the culminating rezults among the 
records in February, 1907, that the story ov this venerabl founder ov 
the name in America could be rezumed and continued until hiz death 
in January 1689-90, O. S. at the aj ov ninty-eight or ninty-nine years. 

The next record found regarding Anthony Slocum iz in North 
Carolina. It iz here presented az near az type can giv it; and others 
folo, viz: 

1670. At a Generall Court held ye 27 September, 1670, at y^ house of Saml 
Davis [probably on or near the site ov the prezent Edenton] for ye County of 
Albemarle in ye Province of Carolina. Present the Honorlile Peter Carteret

country by Witro Stephen wherefore it is ordered y* he have his hatt deliv-

* It iz inferd from this record that the petitioner, Anthony Slocum, lost hiz 
valuabl English hat at sea, perhaps when on hiz way to setl in North Caro- 
lina; that it waz pickt up by the fisherman, and that the owner waz nesessi- 
tated to go to the court for its surrender. This record iz evidens that he waz 
among the earliest permament setlers by the Albemarle River; the only record 
ov previus court bearing date 15 July, 1670. Thez records ar in the Ofis ov 
the clerk ov the Superior Court, Edenton, N. C.

This Patent waz isued, and the befor mentiond Palatine Court waz

the prezent time leterz and in line, viz: 

Since the Quallity of Nobillity will not permit the Fundamentall Consti-

The Quorum of Councell shall be the Governor and six Chancellors whereof 
three at least shall be Deputvs of Proprietors. ,, , t-. 

4. If it hapen that any of the Lords Proprietors Deputys shall by Death or 
Departure out of Carolina or any otherwise cease to be Deputys before the

The mention ov o;randsons Gilbert in Anthony Slocum's Wil, here 
copid, brings to mind a leter writn by him to his 'brother in law

ofis ov the Secretary ov State, Raleigh, N. C. See subsequent Wils. 



AND THEIR ALLIANCES 1 7 

William Harvey in Taunton' after hiz departur from New England. 
The fragment of this leter prezervd, reads az folos: 

To the Church of Christ in Taunton and to Mr Shove [the pastor] and 
yourself in particular, I desire to be remembered, whose prayers I doubt not 
I and mine are the better for, and whose welfare I earnestly wish and pray 
for. Myself, wife, and sons, and daughter Gilbert who hath four sons, re- 
member our respects and loves; and my sons are all married* 

The identity ov Anthony Slocum ov New England and North 
Carolina iz further confirmd by this leter and the naming ov hiz 
grandsons Gilbert in hiz Wil. The naming ov William Harvey az 
'brother in law' in this leter led the writer ov History of Sutton, 
Neiu Hampshire, 1890, to the statement that William Harvey ov 
Taunton marid second, 'Martha Slocum sister of Anthony.' This 
statement iz refuted in The Harvey Book (genealogy) 1899, and in 
7opes, Pioneers of Massachusetts, 1 900, by showing that this Martha 
waz ov the Copp Family. Ther appears no definit means at hand for 
determining the exact relationship between Anthony Slocum and 
William Harvey ov Taunton. They may hav marid sisters; or 
Anthony may hav marid hiz sister; or they may hav been half 
brothers, az it waz then customary to call half brothers brothers-in- 
law. The number, and high character, ov Harveys surrounding 
Anthony Slocum in North Carolina, iz significant. 

Considerabl serch haz been made to asertain the name ov the craft 
in which Anthony Slocum went to North Carolina. All vesels wer 
small at that time and litl if any record waz kept ov their going and 
coming, particularly ov the numerus privat coasters. Much ov the 
food ov thez early colonists waz procured from the sea, and each larj 
family had one or mor boats cald seaworthy. 

It is sugjestiv that Giles- Slocum, 2, ov Portsmouth, near Newport, 
Rhode Island, purchast land in East New Jersey az early az 20 May, 
1667, and again in 1670; also that hiz son John, grandson of An- 
thony, waz a freholder, and waz admited a Freman, in East New 
Jersey in May, i668.t 

Anthony and hiz family may hav accompanid his grandson John 
(and perhaps Samuel, Family (9) paj 54 ov Vol. I) in hiz boat to 
New Jersey and, after a visit ther, he may hav been taken by the same 
boat to the Albemarle, Carolina, which waz then much talkt about

war with the savajes that folod blighted the Colony for years and, 
probabli, would hav destroyed it entirely but for the prompt and 
jenerus action ov the peopl ov South Carolina in ansering the cal for 
help. Governor Spottswood ov Virginia made an eloquent speech 
to hiz Legislatur, appealing to its members by al the considerations 
ov humanity, kinship, naborhood and self-interest, to help their 
brethren in Albemarle ; and he sukseded in geting an appropriation ov 
£1000 in their behalf; but the appropriation waz not expended, az 
the security required by Governor Spottswood for repayment waz such 
that the North Carolina authoritiz said they could not giv, it being 
a morgaj on the territory north ov the Roanoke River. South Caro- 
lina responded imediately without asking morgaj or other security for 
repaj^ment ov expenditurs — voted £4000 mony, and sent troops at

Jacob^ Mott {Jacob- and luife Joanna" Slocuin, Giles/

Township ov Portsmouth, Rhode Island. Their dauter Mary Mott, 
born 25 February, 1708, marid 18 February, 1739, Nathaniel Greene 
ov Warwick Township, now in Kent County, R. I. Their son 
Nathaniel Greene, born 27 May, 1742, in Potowhommet, Warwick, 
R. I., became the noted Revolutionary General in the American Army. 
Hiz ansestors, ov both lines, wer prominent members ov the Sosiety 
ov Friends, hiz father being a leading minister; and he waz from 
infancy environd in hiz father's home by quiet unostentatious lives. 
He waz taught to work on hiz father's farm, at hiz anchor forj, and 
in hiz smal flouring mil; and here he saw much ov the scaterd rural 
peopl, also ov the mor adventuresom ones engajd in coasting trade 
about Narraganset Bay and wider waters. He waz studius and be- 
came interested in history, English and ancient; mathematics, law, 
and the moral and political fazes ov the time. He waz also fond ov 
reading books on war. When the occasion oferd he waz prepard 
to be a leader. He waz chozen member ov the Rhode Island Assem- 
bly in 1770, and to the great scandal ov hiz fello Quakers he waz 
among the first to engaj in the military considerations preparatory to 
rezisting the unwiz impozitions ov Great Britain, the mother country. 
In 1774 Nathaniel Greene enlisted az a privat soldier, and in 1775 
he waz appointed to command the Rhode Island soldiers at Boston, 
with the rank ov Brigadier General. He fulfild every duty so wel 
that he waz promoted to Major General in the patriot army in 1776; 
and az such he distinguisht himself in the engajments with the British 
forses at Trenton, Princeton, Brandyw^ine ; and az Commander ov 
the Army ov the South. Congress prezented him a medal, and 
Georgia and the Carolinas made him valuabl grants ov land. He 
haz been esteemd second only to Washington az a military com- 
mander. At the clos ov the Revolutionary War he returnd to quiet 
life in Rhode Island, but made visits to the South. The place ov hiz 
deth, which occurd 19 July, 1786, and ov hiz burial, wer subjects ov 
inquiry by the Society ov Cincinnati and, after due serch hiz bones, 
debre ov his coffin, and butons ov hiz uniform, wer found in igoi 
in a Savannah, Georgia, cemetery vault. 

The servis ov this patriot with Slocum blood, and the servlses ov 
many ov the name Slocum in every one ov the wars ov their country,

Capt. Edward" Slocum {Ebenezer* Eleazer,^ Giles,- Anthony,^) 
woz born 10 July, 1754, in or near Tiverton Township, Newport 
County, Rhode Island. Notwithstanding the precepts ov hiz parents, 
who wer prominent members ov the Sosiety ov Friends, and examples 
ov his ansestors in both lines for generations, he enlisted in the Revo- 
lutionary Army (as did two ov hiz brothers) and at the cloz ov the 
war he became a charter member ov the Sosiety ov Cincinnati az 
shown by the foloing articl to which he subscribd his name, viz: 

Cantonment of American Army on Hudson's River, May loth, 1783. 

The officers of the American Army having generally been taken from the 
citizens of America, possess high veneration for the character of that illus- 
trious Roman Lucius Qunitius Cincinnatus, and being resolved to follow his 
example by returning to their citizenship, they think they may with propriety 
denominate themselves The Society of Cincinnati. 

This Sosiety haz been kept in activ existens by the sucseding eldest 
male lineal desendants ov the charter memberz. The hereditary seat 
ov Captain Slocum haz continued vacant since hiz deth which occurd 
2 March, 1822, in Westfield, Massachusetts. Hiz children became 
scaterd early, and communication between them ceast. During the 
sumer ov 1906 the secretary ov this Sosiety for Rhode Island woz 
activ in correspondens to find the heir to the vacant chair, but without 
sucses. This Sosiety haz the foloing record ov Captain Slocum, viz: 

Entered Army May 8, 1775, as first sergeant Captain William Cook's Com- 
pany, Third Regiment Rhode Island Continental Infantry; was promoted to 
Ensign in same company June 18, 1775, and to Lieutenant June 28, 1775. He 
was in the Quebec Expedition of September, 1775, and at the siege of that city. 
He was in the second storming column in the attack in which General Mont- 
gomery was killed, and he was taken prisoner; was held in close custody until 
exchanged the following year. Joined his regiment on the Hudson in July, 
1777. Promoted to Captain May 26, 1778. Honorably discharged November 
3, 1779, while stationed with his regiment at East Greenwich, R. I.

He participated in the defense of Fort Mercer, repulse of the Hessians under 
Count Donop ; at Whitemarsh; Valley Forge; and the Campaign under Gen- 
eral Sullivan which terminated with the Battle of Rhode Island. 

The Buro ov Pensions, Department ov The Interior, Weshington, 
D. C, contains the foloing Military History ov this Captain Edward 
Slocum, viz:

found iz in the record 'received into the Tiverton Baptist Church in 
1788 Phebe Kelpe, wife of Col, Edward Slocum,' probably then ov

and happy to the last. "Blessed are the dead who die «n the Lord." — R. S.

ten yerz. She engajd in teching; and taut in Philadelphia at the 
time ov the Southern Rebelyon. 

During ]\Iis Slocum's sojurnz in Troy she bekame an intimat frend 
ov her skoolmate, Mis Maria Winne, dauter ov Moses Wiime. This 
frendship kontinud after Miss Winne's marij to Russell Sage; who 
waz for a time in partnership with Mis Slocum's luikl, Hiram' Slo- 
cum (Family 237) wher she first met him. Sum length o\ time 
after Mrs. Maria Sage's deth. Miss Slocujii aksepted the atenshons ov 
Mr. Sage; atul tha wer marid in 1869. 

Russell Sage waz born 4 August, 181O, at the Hamlet m Mienan- 
doah, New ^Ork, while hiz parents wer on the wa>' by their pioner 
konvaans from Middletown, Connecticut, w ith expekt:ishon ov going 
to Michigati. Upon their arival in N'erona Township, Oneida 
County, New ^Ork, tha desided not to go an\ further; and here in 
Durhamville Russell waz rerd to the aj ov twelv \erz. He waz the 
fifth sun ()\ lMi>li;i Sage and in the fifth jenerashon from David 
ho kame from Wales and setld in Middletown, Connecticut, in 
1052. In 1S2S Russell went to Trov. N. ^ ., az an erand 
boy in the grosery stor ov hiz brother, Henr\ Risle\ Sage, re- 
seving four dolarz per month and hiz bord. From this first 
step into the biznes world, hiz rize waz rapid; he bekame klerk ; 
and soon therafter he went into partnership w ith another brother 
also in grosery biznes. He savd his ernings, and purchast hiz 
brother's interest. From 1839 to 1844 he and John \V. Bates 
kondukted a wholsale grosery in Troy, which inkrest, and extendeii 
to their kontrol ov the karying ov their goods, and ov the produkts ov 
the visinity to New York Sit\ , in their own boats, and to their leder- 
ship ov the grosery trade in Troy and Albany ; also leders in the hors 
market from Vermont and Canadian sorses. In 1844 he purchast 
Mr. Bates' interest for $150,000.00, and kondukted the biznes alon 
until larjer biznes interests nesesitated its sale. Befor the aj ov thirty 
yerz, he waz, probabh , the w elthiest man in the land outside ov New- 
York Sity. 

In politiks Mr. Sage began az a Whig. He servd sevn yerz from 
1 84 1 az alderman ov Troy, and tresurer ov Rensselaer County. He 
waz a Delegat to Hie Nashonal \Vhig Konvenshon in 184S. .nnd

biimmed hat; was of sandy hair and light complexion and much freckled; 
that he lived about half a mile from a town where there was a fort; that they 
lived in a wootlen house of two stories hight, and had a spring near the liouse. 
She says three Delawares [Aborigines] came to the house in the day time 
when all were absent but herself, and perhaps two other children; her father 
and brothers were absent working in the field. The Indians carried her off 
and she was adopted into a family of Delawares who raised her and treated 
her as their own child. They died about forty years ago, somewhere in Ohio. 
She was then married to a .Miami by whom she had four cliildren; two of 
them are now living — they arc both daughters — and she lives with them. Her 
husband is dead ; she is old and feeble, and thinks she will not live long. 

These considerations induced her to give the present history of herself, whicli 
she would never do before, fearing that her kindred would cotne and force 
her away. She has lived lung and ha|>p> as an Indian and, but for her color, 
would not be suspected of being anything else than such. She is very respec- 
table, and wealthy, sober and honest. Her name is without reproach. She 
says her father had a large family, say eight children in all, six older than 
herself, one \ounger, as well as slie can recollect; and she doubts not there 
are yet living many of their descendants, but seems to think that all her 
brothers and sisters must be dead, as she is very old herself, not far from the 
age of eighty [lier true age was then less than sixty-two vears]. Sl)c. thinks 
she was taken prisoner before the two last wars, which must mean tlie Revo- 
lutionary War, as Wayne's war [1794] and the late war [\N'ar of 1812-14] 
have been since that one. She has entirely lost her motlier tongue and speaks 
only in Indian, which I also understand and she gave me a full histoid' of 
herself. 

Her own Christian name she has forgotten but sa>s her father's name was 
Slocum* and he was a Quaker. She also recolects that it was upon the Sus- 
(|uehaima River that they lived, but don't recolect the name of the town near 
which tiiey lived. I have thought that from this letter you might cause some- 
thing to be inserted in the newspapers of your country that might possiblx catch 
the eye of some of the descendants of the Slocum family who have knowledge

our family. How the matter should have lain so long wrapped in obscurity 
we cannot conceive. An aunt of mine — sister of my father — was taken awa\ 
when five years old b\ the Indians, and since then we have only had vague 
and indistinct rumors upon the subject. Your letter we deem to have entirely 
revealed the whole matter, and set everything at rest. The description is so 
perfect, and the incidents (with the exception of her age) so correct, that we 
feel confident. 

Steps will be taken immediately to investigate the matter, and we will en- 
deavor to do all in our power to restore a lost relative who has been sixt> 
years in Indian bondage.

Dkar Sir: 1 lia\p tiie pleasure of acknowledging the receipt of your letter 
of tlie 8tl) insiaiK, and in answer can add that the fetnale I spoke i»i in 
Januarv, 1835, is still alive; nor can I for a moment doubt but that she is the 
identical relative that has been so long lost to your fatiiily. 

I feel mucii gratified to think that 1 have been thus instrumental in disclos- 
ing to \ourself and friends such facts in relation to her as will enable >(>u to 
visit her and satisfy yourselves more fully. She recovered from the temporary 
illness by which she was afflicted about the time 1 -pent the night with her in 
Januars, 1835, anil which was, no doubt, the cau"«e that induceil lier to speak 
so freely of her early captivity. 

Althougli she is now by long habit an Indian and her manner and customs 
precisely theirs, yet she will dt>ubtless be happy to see any of you, and I myself 
will take great pleasure in accompanying you to the house. Should you come 
out for that purpose, I advise you to repair directly to this place; and should 
it so happen that I should be absent at the time, you will find others who can 
take you to her. Bring with you this letter; show it to James T. Miller of 
Peru, Indiana, a small town not far from this place. He knows her well. He 
is a young man whom we have raised. He speaks the .Miami tongue and will 
accompany you if I should not be at home. Inquire for the old white woman, 
mother-in-law to Brouillette, living on the Mississinewa River, about ten 
miles above its mouth. There you Ziill find the long lost sister of your father 
and, as I before stated, you will not have to blush on her account. She is 
highly respectable, and her name as an Indian is without reproach. Her 
daughter, too, and her son-in-law Brouillette who is also a half-blood being 
part French, are both very respectable and interesting people — none in the 
Nation are more so. As Indians, they live well, and will be pleased to see 
you. Should you visit here this fall, I may be absent, as I purpose starting 
for New York in a few davs and shall not l>e back till some time in October.

But this iirrii not stop >ou: for, allhouKli I should be ){niii(icJ to sec you, yet 
it will be turticieru to learn that 1 have furthered your wishes in this truly 
interesting matter. 

The very kind manner in which you have been pleased to speak o< me shall 
be tully appreciated. 

There are perhaps M>en who could have heard her story unmoved; but for 
me. I could not; and when I reflected that there was, perhaps, still lingering 
. thit tide of the K^'ve some brother or sister of that ill-fated woman, to 
xvhom such information would be deeply interesting, I resolved on the course 
which I adopted, and entertained the fond hope that my letter, if ever it should 
go before the public, would attract the attention of M)me one interested. In 
this it seems at last, I have not tfeen disappointed, although I have long since 
luppoaed it had failed to effect the object for which I wroie it. Like you, I 
regret that it should have been delayed so long, nor can 1 conceive how any- 
one should neglect to publish such a letter. 

At to the age of thi» female. I think »he herscit n rm^takm. and that she 
IS not so old as she imagines herself to be. Indeed, I entertain no doubt but 
that she i* the same (»erv)n thai \our familv have mourned after for more 
than half a century past.

perhaps half an acre which we entered through a gate wide enough for a 
carriage to pass. Upon entering the house we were all introduced to the 
Chief by Mr. Miller who told him our business in the nation. He received 
us very courteously atid proffered us all the assistance in his power. He is 
probably over fifty years of age, of portly and majestic appearance, being 
more than six feet high, well proportioned and weighing about 320 pounds. 
He was dressed in leggins and a blue calico shirt that came down to the 
knee, profusely ornamented with ruffles of the same, his hair nearly half gray 
and tied in a queue hanging elegantly down iiis back. After taking leave of 
the Chief, we proceeded to Deaf .Man's N'illage, the residence of the captive 
woman, a distance of about four miles further up the Mississinewa, where the 
natives were employed in the same way as before described. At one of tliese 
fields we found the husband of the youngest daughter of the captive woman. 
He mounted his pony and went with us to the village where %ve were intro- 
duced to the captive, her two daughters, and Captain Brouillette, the hukband 
of the elder. The girls are aged thirty-three and twenty-three. The younger 
has three small children, but not by this husband. VUe elder had two, but 
both are dead. Capt. Brouillette is a half-breed Indian, of elegant appear- 
ance, very straight and slim, and about six feet high. I'ncle Joseph at once 
recognized his sister, and after conversing with them some time in the course 
of whicli we endeavored by all means in our power to gain their confidence, 
it was proposed to them to accompany us upon our return to Peru. .Mr. .Miller 
had to give the old lady very strong assurances that we had no intention to 
take her away contrary to her inclination, before she would go; and at length 
she consented, and accompanied by her two daughters and their husbands, she 
returned with us to the town where they joined us at the supper table and 
appeared to be perfectl\ at ease. They had now l»ecome satisfied that 
we were their relatives, and their confidence was so much strengthened 
that she felt justified in proffering us their friendship. This was done by one 
of them placing on the stand s<iinething wrapped in a white cloth, after which 
they spoke with the interpreter in a sulemn manner, when he rt>se and said 
that they were our friends, and by way of acknowledging themselves as such 
they presented u> with a piece of fresh venison which they wished us to 
receive as a token of friendship. We then rose and thanled them and received 
the token, Mrs. Towne taking up the ham of venison and removing the cloth, 
which made them satisfied. The next morning they all came to breakfast 
with us, and the captive gave us, in the course of the day, all the history of 
her life that she could recollect. Mr. Miller, to whom we are greatly in- 
debted, and Mr. Hunt, acted as interpreters. I wrote down the narration in 
the words of the interpreter. There are not many striking incidents in her 
life, but she and her family in their native costume, their extreme simplicity 
of manner, the natural modesty and solemnity of their deportment, formed 
the most interesting group I ever beheld. They are decidedly the most respec- 
table family in the [Miami] nation, and the> are also very wealthv, having 
upward of a hundred horses and many cattle and hogs. Capt. Brouillette is 
the only Indian who cultivates corn with the plow. He has a yoke of oxen, 
and wagon, and frequently takes beef and other articles to market.

is subscribed in answer to this circular, we will endeavor to have the unveil- 
ing of this monument in October [189^, but litl over a month after the riter's

who has published a History of the Slocum Family in America, has informed 
us that he will come at any time the monument is unveiled; and it is expected 
he will be prepared to delixer an address appropriate to the occasion. 

The ritiT uv this book had sum previus korespondens on the sub- 
jckt witli the riter ov the sirkular, but no definit phmz had been 
agred upon for the work. However, he at wuns sent subskripslioi 
with statnient that, in hiz opinion, the time menshond for the work 
waz to short, and the preskribd monument wa/ inadequate. Re- 
sponses to her sirkular wer meger, and Mrs. Murphy saw the failur 
ov her eforts. After further korespcjndens she rekwested the riter to 
take charj ov the projekt ; and therupon he sent out the foloing sir-

DEFiAS'ce, Ohio, September 28, 1899.

Several ^cn^ .i^o i u.ni mi ir>iuiiiiiriK c \%iiii Mi> .Mary Slocum Murpli\ 
of Converse, Indiana, daughter of the laic Cieorge R. Slocum and grand- 
daughter of Isaac, relative to erecting a monument at the grave of her grand- 
aunt Frances Slocum the Captive, which grave remains uiunarked. At thai 
time she discontinued work on this worthy project, and other matters crowded 
it from my mind. 

A few days ago I received a circular letter from her, stating that a monu- 
ment would be unveiled at this grave in Dctobcr next; that contributions for 
its purchase were invited; and that I would deliver an address at the un- 
veiling. 

My immediate reply to this circular was, that 1 was yet favorable to the 
erection of a suitable monument, and would assist in every way desired. A 
draft on New York, as my contribution, was enclosed. My letter intimated 
that tlie monument prescribed in her circular might be thought inadeijuaie, 
and the time announced too vhort in wliiili tn e^nlit-r fuiui* and hiii»li the work 
this fall. 

A letter was received today from Mrs. .Murphy, written in de>pondent tone. 
She informs me that the money received amounts to less than fifty dollars-; 
and slie requests me to take charge of tlie work, write to the nearest of kin 
and ask for contributions. 

In compliance with this request I send five letters of this copy, viz: One 
to George Slocum Bennett, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.; Joseph \V. Slocum, Scranton 
Levi D. Slocum, Carbondale; Frank L. SUKum, Pittsburg; and to Elliott 1 . 
Slocum, Detroit, wliom I 'iiitiijest to act as committee witli Mrs. Murphy, for 
completion of tlie work 

It is hoped that each one addressed will take active interest in the matter.

Mr. Chairman, Mtiniin wi i,,, i.y^<nmitlfe, LaJiet and Gentlemen . It j» 
an interesting occasion that ha% brought u» together today. We are met to 
unveil to the view of tho»e present, and to the view of all person* who may 
in the future come this way, a Monument recently erected to mark the burial 
place of a woman who»e history i» peculiarly without a full parallel in the 
annals of mankind. We are here to unveil a memorial to an luMuiic event 
which occurred in the earlier and ir>ing lime* of our country ; an event which 
will ever remain in history as one of the most remarkable of captivities, and 
as embracing the pathetic sentiment attending a childhood and long-lile 
perversion from civilization. 

One hundred and t\%ent> -se\en years ago last Match, in Warwick, on the 
western shore of Narragansei Bay, Rhode Island, there wat born a girl, the 
third daughter and teventh child of thrifty parent*. Hie family was becom- 
ing large, the farm wan small, the soil thf ' the winin* 

were long and severe. Reports had l>een .>>>..!.. 1' . Ivania tl»j! 

the conditions lor a gtunl home with attendant prosperity were more favorable 
there. This, al^o. was the country of William Heiin, a prominent member 
of the Society of Friendt of which diurch Jonathan Slocum, the father of the 
girl, our subject, wa* aloo a member. William Penr ':' - ' r-' '-■ ' 
from the Aborigines in eastern I'enns\ Ivania, and his ,i 

them had much to do in coloring the report* carried to Connecticut and Rhode 
Island of the desirability of this territory then being offered to while settlers. 
Jonathan Slocum had visited Pennsylvania and purchased land tliere al' 
two years before the birth of thi« daughter. The year following her bm;. 
in 1774, '>f removed his family thither and after two or three years occupieii 
a house near the Susquehanna River in the noted Wyoming Valley, on the »itf 
of the present City of Wilkes-Barre. 

Thus early in life was Frances Slocum. whose mein<iiy \>c m> ncntimplv 
commemorate today, subjected to the fatigues, privations and exposures iia: 
dent to a long journey along uncleared trails beset by lurking foet, human 
and other — for British oppressors had already l>een active in inciting ihr 
Aborigines to acts of violence against the i v This journey was to hr 

but the first of many weary years of wandi....^- .n foot, through the forr-" 
over mountains, through valleys and swamps, along rivers and lakev ^ < 
was taken into captivity by Aborigines November and, 1778, and forciblx 
carried into the wilderness from her father's house, never to see it again 
Her first journey was in the protecting arms and close to the heart of an ever 
watchful and loving mother. Her subsequent wanderings were destined to 
begin before she was six years of age with people of another race and color,

experirnces had been foreign to !>uch rlnu(io^^ and bhe could itui then, in her 
old age, compreliend tlieir full signiticancr or readily be brought into t>ytnpa- 
thy with tliein. rtiere was, alMi, a fear lurking in her mind ihai there vsat» 
a design at work to take her away from her huine, and this fear contributed 
to the stolidity of her manner. After repeating to her, through an interpreter, 
the story of her early childhood experience*, including lier abductiiMi, and 
dwelling u|)on !>oine accidents recei\ed beture that time which reAulied in tear 
titill prominent, &ume of the mernuriek of her childhuud were awakened and 
she became somewhat communicative, and accorded her relative* ho*piiality; 
and in turn accepted their hoi>piialiiy at their hotel in Peru. 

It was not with altogether joyous hearts that the brothers and sister started 
on their return journe\ home. Their long lost sister had indeed l>een found. 
She was yet alive, but khe wak a kisier only in name. In all outward res)>ecis 
she had become of another race and tongue, void of the cuhure, laaiet and 
ways of her white relatives. That she \s as \et alixe was to ' ' it the grat- 
ifying knoss ledge that she had not suffered the pangs of a 1. c death; and 
there was also somexshat of cheer on their way in the knowledge that she was 
content, and in the peaceful en}u\ment of an abundance of supplies for her 
physical necessities, and without danger of future want. 

Two \ears later, in Septeml>er, 1859, her brother Joseph of NVilkes-Baiie 
again visited her here. This time he was acxompanied b> his eldest and 
youngest daughters, and it is from their eicelleni journal* thai we are indebted 
for many of the particulars in the authentic Mory of thi« remarkable captivity. 
They were received with a greater defjree of frieiidls feeling than on the for- 
mer vi>ii, but, iti all material respects, with like result. 

I'he principal facts in the history of this eviraordinar> case have been em- 
bodied ill many publications, and have been known to many of you frotn >our 
early childhood days; and tome residents of this vicinity, now present, saw 
thi> "white captive w«»man' during the later \<----- -■• her life, and had per»onaI 

kiutwledge of her strong and wttrthy chai.i > « as well as of the hii;ti 

esteem in which she was held by all her worthy neighbors of both racc- 

It is both ititeresting and profitable to consider the origin of the character- 
istics that could thus win and hold such geiteral respect uttder most unfavor- 
able conditions. The parentage of Frances Slocum was favorable for children 
nf healthy boilies and sound minds; children who needed but the environment 
of a good home circle to develop strong and worthy memlters of civiliied 
siKiety, as her brothers and sisters grew to be. For a period of one hundred 
and seventeen years previous to the birth of Frances Slocum her parent* and 
forebears were members — among the first in America — of the Sticiet) of 
Friends commonly known as Quakers; a Society which ha* always stood for 
uprightness of character and justice to all mankind. The good effects of the 
teachinjis of this Society ha\e generalK been e\ ideiit in the children of succeed- 
ing generations even when widely separated by distance and generation from 
contact with the Society, and after their athliaiion with other communions. 
This perpetuation is doubtless largely due to the direct influence af parent on 
child during the early educational period, or the more plastic age. 

But the person our subject totlav, Frances Sl«»cum. was earl\, and ruthle»»ly.

2l8 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA 

for those years of war with the American Colonisits were the most trying yean 
ever experienced by the Aborigines. 

She had grown to mature stature and \ears before these severe conditions 
ceased or were materially ameliorated. She had been married to a member of 
the tribe of her captors but did not have a peaceful home; and she was soon 
separated from him by the result of war. The removal weMward and the rap- 
idly changing fortunes and places of savage warfare, and the combinings of 
tribes, brought about her adoption into the Miami tribe. 

It was not until the Treaty of tireenville, Ohio, August 5, 1795, about 
seventeen years after her abduction, that some cessation of ho»tilities came to 
bless the increasing Colonists as well as the rapidly declining race \sith which 
she had had a forced and tempestuous lot. Following this I'rcaty a brief era 
of some happineNs opened to her. She was happily married to She-po-con-ah, 
a Miami chief. But the re*tless nature of these people of the forest* was con- 
tinually fomented by the French and the British, and the hopes of peace and 
tran(|uiliiy raised by the Treaty of (ireenvitle were n<K to be fullv realized 
for a furtlier period of twenty >ear». 

French people had often traveled along the (iieat Lakes and along the Mau- 
mee and Wabash rivers fur over one hundred years previous to (his Treat) 
and had trading posts at intervals along this route. The Briii»h, the heredi- 
tary enemies of the French, nominally »uccee»led the French in authurit\ b\ 
Treaty in 1763 in this Northwest Territorw The^e peoples here had, on the 
surface, smoothed their quarrels and each was yet couning the friendship ot 
the .\burigines, as before from mercenary- motives, boih of them for the con- 
tinued supply to the Aborigines oi brand), rum and the mo»i o>inni 
chandi>e, in exchange for their pelirie*, which trade had l»een \er\ j 
to the Furopeans. The Britislt. in addition, desired the alliance of the Abor- 
igine warriors against the Colonists. 

The darkest pages in the history ot the i rrndi, tin(i»h, and ilie Al 
in America, are those describing the habituation of the latter to the u»t . ; ... 
toxicating beverages, and their incitings to shed blood of American Col«»nist», 
by the former. The CJovernment of the I'nited States thus received an evil 
heritage, and one from which it has not yet fully recovered. Fhese iniquitous 
incitings of the Aborigines to violence again^t the Colonists began before thr 
Declaration of Independence; and they did not cease with the clcM.e of the 
Revolutionary War. They were continued in this Northwest Terriiorv-, alonj: 
these river thoroughfares, until the close of the War of 1812, and until there 
was a sufficient force of I'nited Staie> tr<mp» il • it this Territory to »u( 

cessfully enforce peace. It was not until after i... i ..jty of CJhent. Decetnbc: 
24th, 1814, closing the second war with (Jreat Britain, that peace with the 
Aborigine tribes in the^e valleys became a«'Sured. 

It was not until this time — at near the age of forty-two years, and after hav- 
ing passed thirty-six years in captivity — that a fixed abode ar ' ■ •-Thing of 
the arts of peace began to satisfy Frances Slocum's natural , , ». Soon 

after this time her wanderings ceased with her removal with her husband 
and family to this Re^-ervation ; and. as the years passed by, with a peaceful 
home, the presence of children, and the accumulation^ of industr>- and

keep maiiN, if not all, of the children taken by them; but nearly all of the 
white children abducted by them soon died from ^hock, exposure or disease. 
This Captive survived all dangers; and there emanated from her throughout 
her long life, a >ubtilc influence which worked to the control of those of the 
ilitferem tribes with which she lived for her protection and care; and this 
influence also worked directly on her captors for her secretion by them to pre- 
vent her being discovered by those of her race, and to prevent her being sur- 
rendered to tlieni. What was this subtile influence? WheiK-e came it ? What 
its source but her strong, unsinuthered hcreditar\, psychic nature? Was her 
life in its savage, and later barbarous, enviruninent governed bv more heredi- 
tary influences than it would have been had she had a civilized environment 
not in full harmony with her heredity? Probably to, for a les* pronounced 
environment ma\ be stronger in its results than heredity. rho>e persons of 
her race who knew her in her later life have told us that she was revered as a 
queen by the members of her family and their people of the Miami tribe. 
Her auburn hair and fair complexion were but faint outward expressions of 
heredity compared with the ps>chic sentiment that shone through her life and 
manner to a deeper and more ptiwerful and lasting ctintrol oxer those people, 
rheir ileterence and considerati\e treatment of her throughout her long life 
is the brightest and most creditable event in all their histor> ; and this action 
by them also speaks volumes for her equability, and her power over their 
vicissitudes of passion. Her full influence over the Miami people will never 
be knuvxn. Kut the stur\ of her great and benign influence is »u(hcieiitl\ full 
to give us a rightful inference that this influence was successfully exerted to 
the inollitication of their asperities, as we know them to have been mollified 
durini; the time of her adult years; and we believe her influence would have 
been far greater for gmwl but for the man> temptations to strong drink per- 
sistingly and clandestinely held before these people by European, and Amer- 
ican, dealers in strong drink, the enemies of civilization. 

We are now assembled where we can overlook the region «here thi»*e once 
numerous anil p<»wer»ul Aborigines, the Miamis. had their last actual tribal 
existence. When first known to Kuropeans the\ dominated an evtensive dcMnam, 
and could even withstand the Five Nations of Iroquois of the East. When 
fulK conquered the third time by the Inited States early in the nineteenth 
century, their oon<|uerors settled them on a large Reservation which was later 
reduced to " The Residue of the Big Reserve" which embraced the region 
hereabout. November 28, 1840. the tribe relinquished it all excepting this and 
a few other tracts, for a Reservation beyond the Mississippi Rivet 

This is a pleasant region. There i* enough of height and vale; enough of 
precipitous clifl^ and of low and gently sloping banks to the Mississinewa 
River which flows with measur.ible depths at our feet, to endear this rtfpon 
to everyone who loves the open air. Clothed with large forest growth*, well 
intersperst with smaller trees and vines bearing edible nut*, fruits and l^erries 
in abundance, as was this region when occupied by the Miami tribe, it was 
an ideal place to them; and it appear* to us todav an ideal place for this 
commemorative meeting. As the generations, and the crnturie*. come and go. 
and these valleys become densely populated throngs of people will visit thi«

The life of Frances Slocmn, so far as we have l>ecn able to gather its his- 
tory, was in consonance with the law of this civilization. So far as heredity 
could iuHuence her life, it was like unto that of her ancestors — plain in out-

doing her duty according to the l>est of her knowledge. Tliis Monument ha>

220 THH SLOCUMS OF AMERICA 

Defiance, Ohio, May 22ad, 1900. 

To THE Members ok the Frances Slocum Monumekt Committee. 
Ladies and Gentlemen: 

No member of the Committee who was I>re^en^ need l>e told ut the happy 
realization of the mo!>t sanguine expectations at Ke>er\e, Indiana, May 17. 

To those Members who could not be present to share in the pleasures of thi^ 
most enjoyable Kathering I will report in brief, that the weather was mor! 
favorable; that tiie States of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, (>li;i, 
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Illinois, were well represented 
in the attendance, while the good citi/ens of Indiana swarmed by ihousand> 
The lowest estimate of the number of persons in attendance was 3,000; whilr 
others placed the number at 4, 5, 6, and even as high as 10,000. The e» 
pression "tiie attendance, the ' .Monument, the exercises, and the beaui\ of thr 
country far exceed expectations" was heard ai every turn. It was unain 
mously voted to meet again at the call of the Committee. 

Kighi Members of the Committee were present. Letters expressing the re 
grets of three absent ones were presented by the Secretary. It was decided 
to continue the Committee for the pur|>o»e of protecting the cemetery and 
placing it in charge of the local authorities having control of burial place^ 
and for other commemorative work that might be f 

I'he receipts for the .Monument h und, which si H" 

of the adjournment of the Committee at Reserve, were brought up to a small 
surplus at the evening meeting in Peru. The f(dlowing statement shows the 
receipts and expenditures in brief, taken from the report at Reserve in detail 
accompanied b\ vouchers ; — 

Total receipts from forty-three perstms, $668.10. 
Total disbursements, $664.26, viz: — 

Paid Manufacturers for Wrought Iron ii.m, >-y, iaj; paid Judson C 
Bond\ Carting Fence to Cemetery, $10.00; paid F. R. Lambert for Setting 
Fence, Carting and Setting .Monument, $30.00; paid Contract Price for M • 
umeni, $260.00; Sundry Fx|'cnditurcs of Secretarv, $3](.i6; Sundry Expt:. 
ditures of James F. Stuiesman, $21.10; Sundry Expenditure* of Treasurer 
$10.00; leaving balance in hand, $3.84. 

The contract prices of Motunnent and Fence were very low, the agent for 
the former accepting no commission on the sale, and the latter was bo 
directly from the manufacturers, Fhe Champion Iron Co. of Kenton, » ■ 
at the former low price <if iron. Fhis, and the gratuitous work of the t. 
mittee's Secretary and Treasurer, and the Cu- man at Peru, gives i. 

an investment at Reserve of over one thousan . .. .a:s in value. 

The enormous pressure from great masses of humanity hanging on the ne\% 
fence 'Fhursda\, re-ulted in breaking ■ -r and in making other rr 

necessar\. I'he great strength of the - attested bv the comparai 

slight damage it received by such treatment. 

We owe a debt of gratitude to the newspapers everx where for the full and 
pleasant manner in which the\ ha\e treated the story of Frances Slocum, and 
the designs of this Committee from beginning to the present time. From their 
influence alone we may feel assured that there should be a much larger and 
heartier response if this Slocum Memorial Committee decides to call another 
reunion, be the meeting held at Reserve, Wilke^-Barre, or at the time and 
place of some general exposition. 

Cordially yours, 

CHARLES E. SLOCCM. Secret.\ry. 

Note. By notis ov the Secretary, the foloing namd memberz ov the 
Komite vizited the Semetery together May 3, 1907, and instituted nescsarx

Another tablet, 25 x 18 inches in size, was placed on the Public 
School buildintj upposit the place of capture. It reads as follows: 

Frances Sloclm M.\-cos-a-<jl'ah was C^ptikeo Nea» This Spot bv [ 
Delaware Indians | November a, 177*. 

In a long notice of these tablets, and of the person they conimeiiK)- 
rate, the leading newspaper of Wilkes- Barre stated that " the stealing 
of the child and the search for her which lasted for half a centur\ 
form the most interesting romance, and next to the Wyoming massacre 
the historic event, of the \V)X)ming \'alle\." 

R. Nelson Uenriett, niember of the Council of the City of Wilkes- 
Barre, originated a Park Commission for this cit> ; and to torward 
the movement his father sent the following communication to its 
members, viz: 

\Vilkc»-Bjrrc, April i;, 1^07. 

Messrs. Irviii): A. Sirari)», Aniliuiiy L. Williaint, Jjiiir* M. Bulaiid, William 
S. Cioff and Daniel F. C'armody. \Villr»-Harrc Park t'omini»»ion.

For some time 1 liuxr l>cru urcailv iiilrrr»lcd in Park* and Pla>Kroiind» 
for in> naiivr placr. 

In the mure ihicklx puriiont of our city iherr is a great need of Pla> ground* 
fur the children. I wish to do sumeihing to lir ' 1 stand 

ready to deed to the city of NVilLes-Barre, lor Pari 1 ... , d purpu»r», 

the free and uninterrupted use and absolute control of the surface of the lo«, 
now owned h> ine, at the northea»t corner of North Pennsylvania avenue and 
Scott streets, in the Si«teenth ward of the said city, if the same shall mert 
with \our approval. 

The lot i> about three hundred feet on Penimlvania avenue and one hun- 
dred and thirty-seven feet on Scott street. This gift it made on conditioa 
that il>e said premises ^hall l>e used only for Park and Pla> ground purposes 
and >l>all at all times hereafter l>e and rentain open and uno»»structed. and 
that the Chy of Wilkes-Barre shall continue it* Park t'ommi»»ion and continue 
to make sufhcient appropriations of money for the pr<»{icr e<;iiipment and main- 
tenance of the Play C>round. 

As this lot came to me from the Hon. Jo»eph Slocuin, my grandfather, and 
is alnu>st the identical spot where Frances Slocum. my great-aunt, was cap- 
tured by the Indians, Noveml>er 2. 1778, when five years of age. and whose 
capture and subsequent diocover) was one of the most tragic events in the 
early history of Wyoming Valley. I desire that this Play Grtnind be called 
the 'Frances Slocum Play Ciround' as a memorial to her. 

Very truly yours,

Providence County, Rhode Island. He was educated in and near his 
native town, and early went to work in a cotton cloth mill. He 
changed from one mill to another, and was advanced until he became 
superintendent. After several years he resigned this position, and 
entered the wholesale grocery business in Providence as junior partner 
in the firm of Whitford and Slocum. Feeling an attraction to the 
west, he sold his interest in Providence and, in 1863, moved his 
family to Chicago, 111. Here he entered the wholesale grocery busi- 
ness but soon changed to the operation of a planing mill, w^hich was 
destroyed by fire about 1866. Lacking capital with which to start 
business again, he secured position of traveling salesman for a young 
and striving wholesale grocery firm, and had the pleasure of seeing 
the business increase to large returns. He showed marked ability as a 
salesman, was energetic, and punctual in meeting every engagment. 
He was kind hearted, always willing to do what he could to help 
others out of trouble, and preferred to suffer loss rather than go to 
law. These qualities won for him the designations of 'a grand man ; 
one of nature's noblemen.' He was very fond of his family, and 
passed all possible time at home, his only social and fraternal mem- 
berships being with his home, and church. An earnest petition in his 
prayers was that he might be spared a lingering illness before the^ 
close of life. This petition was granted. He retired for the night

Nathaniel Mann, husband of Sally Frances Slocum, for sixty 
years one of the best-known residents of Saratoga County, New York, 
was born on his Milton Hill Farm December 29, 1819. He was 
son of Jeremiah Mann of Milton Township and Rebecca Tallmadge 
of Schaghticoke, Rensselaer County, New York. His education was. 
begun in the schools of his native town, continued in those of Schagh- 
ticoke and completed at the Hotchkiss Academy at Lenox, ^Vlassa- 
chusetts. He married February 24, 1841 at the Mann home-stead 
Sally Frances" Slocum daughter of Jeremiah Slocum and Anna Bryan. 



AND THEIR ALLIANCES 315 

He was a young man just nineteen years of age, when he found 
himself responsible for the management of a large farm. He soon 
became an enthusiastic farmer and took great pride in his vocation. 
He was alert to acquire what others knew and willing to impart 
what in any way he had learned. The farm of his life-long residence 
had been occupied by his father and grandfather. All the fruits of 
his labor were devoted to. its improvement. He built his house of 
stone and walled his fields with boulders. His farm buildings were 
extensive and admirabl) arranged, and his orchard was of a thousand 
trees. 

He had marked mechanical and engineering aptitude, and he was 
prompt in applying them as a progressive farmer. Agricultural ma- 
chinery was largely introduced during the period of his active life. 
No one recognized sooner than he what it meant to the farmer. He 
brought the first horse-rake into the town of Milton, and the* first 
mowing machine in Saratoga County was owned by him, and his 
neighbor George B. Powell and used on their farms. 

He was a witness to the dawning of the two definitive factors of 
the last century, public transportation and transmission. As a boy he 
had the care of the horse that was sold off his father's farm to draw 
the first rail-way passenger car in New York State on its initial trip. 
He delivered from his father's farm ties for the construction of both 
the Albany and Schenectady and the Rensselaer and Saratoga rail- 
roads; the one the first link in the great trans-continental rail-wa\ 
lines, and the other, the first section of the present international route 
that unites the St. Lawrence, the Hudson and the Susquehanna. In 
his young manhood, he loaded cars with his farm produce at Ballston 
and drew them on the rail-road to Troy Avith his own horses, a method 
of railroading now almost forgotten. From these early beginnings, 
he saw the enormous transportation systems develop from the mere 
carr}ang of freight to the public electric transmission of ne\\^ and 
thought and finally of the human voice. 

He was a projector of the Saratoga County Agricultural Society, 
for two years its President and for fifty-nine years a manager. For 
a long time he served as vestryman of Christ Episcopal Church, Ball- 
ston Spa, and was a member of the committee that erected the present 
edifice. He was Loan Commissioner of the United States deposit 
fund in Saratoga County for a term. He took great interest in 
public affairs and was a Whig or Republican all his life. 



^l5 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA 

Socially, he was hospitable, of a genial and humorous temperament, 
fond of entertaining by graphic and apt anecdote and illustration. Mr. 
Mann was always fond of young people, and they delighted in his 
society. His attractiveness extended even to the animals that sur- 
rounded him. He ruled them by kindness, and he could approach in 
the field and halter even his colts without exciting any effort to escape. 
He was never long happy away from his home. His genial nature 
showed at its best in the family circle, and he exerted himself as cheer- 
fully to be entertaining when alone with a member of his immediate 
family, as if his parlors were filled as they often were, with visiting 
relatives or friends. His happiness there was contagious. To the time 
of his death, which occurred on his farm August 26, 1900, the vigor 
of his mind and the warmth of his heart made venerable age inviting 
and interesting. He is buried at the ancient Cemetery at Milton 

Hill. 

His wife Sally Frances'' Slocum Mann, grandniece and namesake 
of the celebrated Indian captive Frances Slocum, was born in the 
Township of Saratoga, near Schuylerville, New York, 23 February, 

1819. 

She passed her childhood in her pleasant country home and 
attended the neighborhood school. At thirteen years of age, she lost 
her father, and the following year her mother passed away. The 
home was sold, and she with her only sister Elizabeth Ann resided 
for a time with their brother William Ross Slocum at Fort Miller, 
New York. While living there, her sister, who was her senior by 
several years, and who had assumed a motherly care of her, was 
stricken with a fatal disease and died 18 February, 183b. Elizabeth's 
tender guidance of her young sister had been so devoted and parental 
that her death might almost be termed a third orphaning of Frances. 

Jeremiah Mann of Milton Hill Farm, Saratoga County, having 
been appointed her legal guardian, she was taken into his home and 
became a member of his family. She had attended the 'Pioneer 
School' under the charge of Mr. Ballard in the town of Bennington 
Centre, Vermont, for two years. Later she was a pupil for one year 
at Miss Sheldon's Seminary at Utica, New York. In the fall of 1837 
she entered the Troy Female Seminary of which Mrs. Emma Willard 
was still Principal. At the end of one year she was graduated from 
that school and thus completed her general education. 



AND THEIR ALLIANCES 31/ 

While she was yet a member of his family, her guardian died 
3 January, 1839. She, however, continued to make her home with 
his widow and children. In the mean time, the youngest son of the 
family, Nathaniel Mann, had become by purchase the sole owner of 
the homestead property; and he soon won Sally Frances Slocum to 
share it with him. They were married there 24 February, 1841. by 
Rev. Dr. Deodatus Babcock, and she thus in very early life became 
mistress of a large farm with its responsibilities as well as a prominent 
social factor in a long-settled and cultivated neighborhood. 

Mr. Mann's grandfather, Joel Mann had come to this farm from 
Hebron, Connecticut in 1793. The buildings on it most of which 
had survived the Revolution, had witnessed the ebb and How of Pa- 
triots and Tories, and Indians raiding and pursuing the early settlers 
along the natural highway from Canada. They had become unsuit- 
able. Nathaniel Mann changed the location of some and demolished 
and replaced others. The old Connecticut double house was taken 
down, and a stone residence built upon its site. The fields were re- 
arranged and walled with stone. In all these enterprises, his young 
wife encouraged and assisted him. Her share in the work was as 
important and exhausting as his. At that time, a considerable part of 
the products of the farm, which included, butter and cheese in large 
quantities, came under her supervision; and, while the duties of a 
farmer's wife were then far more exacting than now. she assumed 
the household care of a multitude of laborers and mechanics in addi- 
tion to the regular farm hands. This transformation continued for 
more than ten years, and the burdens and labors of each supplemented 
the other with a like capacity and enthusiasm. During this same 
period a little family of children was gathered about them, viz: 
44.9A1. i. Anna Mann, born 17 February, 1842. 
449A2. ii. Mercy Plum Mann, b. 23 Dec, 1843; m. John H. Peck. 
449A3. iii. Eliza Powell Mann, born 11 October, 1845. 
449A4. iv. Jereml\h Slocum Mann, b. 24 Oct., 1847; d. 31 Mcli., 1906. 
449A5. vi. Mary Willard Mann, born 10 Sep., 1854; d. 2 December, 1866. 

Mrs. Mann, throughout these years of great exertion and responsi- 
bility, had the assistance of a remarkable colored woman known as 
Deyann. She had been brought to the farm a slave five years of 
age in 1804 purchased in a neighboring town by Mr. Mann's grand- 
father. Although under no restrain, she never was off the farm for a 
night during her life there. She was without education but naturally 
of strong, good sense, and commanding strength of mind. She was 



3i8 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA 

a large woman physically ; and, though in some ways an added care, 
Avas on the whole a most efficient helper and able executive of the 
clear and discerning judgment of her mistress. Everj'one for miles 
about knew and respected her. She survived Mrs. Mann ten years 
and died on the farm i6 January, 1877 at the age of seventy-eight 
}-ears. Her long life had been spent in serving four generations of 

the family. 

Mrs Mann's later years were more quiet and domestic. She was 
as unselfish and conscientious and patient and tender a mother of her 
children as she had always been a helpmate to her husband. Her 
foresight and thoughtfulness were conspicuous, especially in the dl- 
nesses and waywardness of children. Their nurture extended to their 
religious life and to the little suggestions and corrections that would 
tend to their social acceptance.. She was a member of Christ Church, 
Ballston Spa. 

Throughout her married life even in the midst of laborious and 
absorbing cares, generous hospitality was the marked characteristic at 
the Milton Hill Farm. It was the ancestral family centre, it was the 
point towards which kinship drew relatives of several genrrations, 
attracted by an assured welcome. Many met there in close fellow- 
ship who had no other goal in common. 

\lrs Mann's tastes and loves and life chiefly blessed her home and 
bej^ond its confines extended mostly to kindred and cultivated neigh- 
bors. She was an educated, domestic gentlewoman. She died in her 
forty-eighth year, 24 January, 1867, leaving a singularly enduring 
impress upon the memories of those who knew her best and loved her 
most. She is buried in the Cemetery at Milton Hill.*

AxNA Mann, eldest child of Nathaniel and Sally Frances (Slo- 
CLim) Mann, was born at Milton Hill Farm 17 February, 1842. 
Her early education was acquired in a school only a few rods from 
her home, and she knew socially and quite intimately, for a child, 
most of the teachers employed there. In this way she learned much 
more than was taught. For one year, 1 860-1 861, she attended the 
famous school at Troy founded by Mrs. Emma Willard, the same 
from which her mother was graduated. Her fidelity to duty, her 
conscientious work, her exemplary conduct and her appreciation of 
the efforts of her teachers in her behalf won for her their approbation 
and admiration throughout her school life. While yet a young 
woman, she became a member of Christ Church, Ballston Spa. She 
left home in the spring of 1863 and spent one year in visiting some of 
the cities and larger towns of IVIichigan, Ohio and western New- 
York. She has always resided in her present home. She has never 
acquired the city habit. The rural landscape, the farm sounds, but 
more than all the delicate beauty of wild and cultivated flowers are 
necessary parts of her ideal home. The delights of a visit in her 
garden or a ramble through an orchard or a grove are not surpassed 
to her taste by the sights from any urban sidewalk or the conventional 
landscape of a park. Her infrequent visits to the town ali\)rd chiefly 
added charm to the countryside. But she is no recluse. She is a 
natural housewife and hostess, so that the Mann homestead continues 
to be the centre of hospitality and good cheer, as in former days. Her 
soul, manifested in the home, will long survive her life. It is im- 
possible to describe its ministry. It has been an impersonation of 
Christian faithfulness unobtrusively blessing every member of the 
household. Her father and mother, her sisters and brother, her 
nephews grown to manhood under her wise and tender counsel, have 
felt the stay and strength of womanly devotion. Whether for them 
life were receding or its ambition had just been kindled, they have all 
known in her the power of hope, faith and love.

Mercy Plum Mann, second daughter of Nathaniel and Sally 
Frances (Slocum) Mann, was born at Milton Hill Farm 23 Decem- 
ber, 1843. She entered the neighborhood school at the early age of 
three years, accompanying thither her elder sister Anna. Her attend- 



320 THE SLOCLMS OF AMERICA 

ance there during a very long period continued the most regular of 
that of any pupil. She remained at this school under the tutelage 
of very competent teachers for upAvards of fifteen years. She had al- 
ways evinced aptitude and ambition for teaching, and, in the spjing 
of 1862 at the beginning of the term succeeding that in which she 
had concluded her course as a pupil, she was placed by the trustee^ 
at the head of the school. Most of the attendants were the same a- 
those w ith whom she had been recently associated. Some tti them 
were older than she, but her success has ever since been a tradition ol 
the neighborhood. Later her pupils became widely scattered, some 
of them entering the armies of the civil war. As from time to time 
they have returned to re-visit the scenes of their youth, the one person 
aK\:iys inquired for has been the former associate of the school desk> 
who became their most inspiring teacher. Miss Mann remained at 
the head of the school for only a year anil a half; and then, in Sep- 
tember 1803, she left home to pursue a course of higher education 
at the well-known Willard school at Troy, New ^'ork, where her 
mother had completed her education. She was graduated there in 
June 18O5 after two years of most assiduous study. In the following' 
year, on the occasion of a temporary vacanc> in its corps of teacher> 
she was re<alled and became an instructor during a brief period. 
The success of her work, however, was conspicuous ; and at the be- 
ginning of the next school year September i8b6, she became a member 
of tlie permanent faculty. J'his association was continued until on 
rlu' retirement of Mr. and Mr>. John H. Willard in June 1872. thr 
boarding department was temjxjrarily suspended. The next \eai 
she taught at the well-know n da Silva Bradford school in New ^ orL 
City. Before the expiration of this year, the trustees of the Troy Sem- 
inary engaged her on most attractive terms to return to Troy and 
assist Miss Emily T. Wilcox Principal in conducting a da\ schtxd. 
From September 1873 until June 1883 this arrangement continued 
in connection with other teachers. Her work in the classroom was 
largely among the younger children, training and fitting them to ad 
vance rapidh to the honors of the school. Her conspicuous success 
attracted pupils to the school. She was a natural teacher, happ\ in 
her Avork and resourceful in securing application and awakening en- 
thusiasm. She was just and patient and able to impress those undei 
her care with a sense of her accuracy of information and her imfailinp 
interest in them. She won their confidence and afifection. and man\

of thcin were assiduous to show their love as well by progress in their 
lusswork as by the chilillike and devoted attentions. Her class rooms 
were vibrant with cheerful, studious industry. When she finally re- 
tired from the school in June 1883 full of health, enthusiasm and 
success, it closed a period extending back to her earliest childhood 
during which there had been but few weeks, when she had not da\ 
by day attended school xs the great interest of her life. Hw work laid 
down had brought her many joys and triumphs. 

The long summer vacations had been spent, as far as possible, in 
.Kcjuiring the cultivation and experience of travel. They were seldom 
passed entirely at home, and sometimes were occupied in making ex- 
tended journeys. She had visited the Adirondack Wilderness, all the 
( Jreat Lakes, many of the then western States, Canada and the St. 
Lawrence, and the summer of 1882 was entirely given to a trip 
abroad that included Great Britain and the chief cities, rivers, lakes 
and mountains of \ve>tern Kurope. 

At the homestead farm in the late summer of 1 883 August 7th 
she was married by the Rev. Dr. Walter Delafield to Hon. John 
Hudson l*rck, I.I I)., a practicing lawyer of Troy, New \'ork. 
He has since continued his professional work without interruption, 
but has ff)und time to administer acceptably many important trusts; 
notably, he was for upwards of twelve years President of the Rensse- 
laer Polytechnic Institute. This latter position afforded to his wife, 
in meeting and entertaining the students, coofitiinl oppnrtiiniT\ tor 
the exercise of her experience and aptitudes. 

Her most interested public efforts since her marriage have been 
associated with missionary and benevolent work. Her power of or- 
ganization. industPk' and engaging enthusiasm had been trained to 
combine with them unusual accuracy and attention to detail. Re- 
sponsible positions sf)ught her. She h.xs met their obligations with 
unvarying success and so administered them that she has won to her- 
self the affectionate regard of a wide circle of efficient Christian peo- 
ple. She has been a member of St. John's (Episcopal) Church, Troy 
since ifihh. In connection with this church she was identified with 
the Ministers' Aiil and Parish Kmployment Society serving as Second 
Directress, Secretary and Treasurer. For seventeen years she was 
President of the Troy Auxiliary American McAll Association. She 
was a member of the State Aid Charity Board of Rensselaer County. 
New York, for a long time.

During twenty-seven years she has been a member of the American 
Association for the Advancement of Science, and attended several of 
its annual meetings. Through the services of her great grandfather 
Giles Slocum as a soldier in the Revolutionary War, she has been 
admitted into the Philip Schuyler Chapter of the Daughters of the 
American Revolution. She is an interested member of the Troy 
Chapter of the National Indian Association. For several years she 
was a Vice President of the Emma Willard Association. Mrs. Peck 
has contributed to the press some interesting papers on the school life 
at Troy Seminary and reminiscences of Mrs. Emma Willard, 

Indeed, although this brief notice pictures her rather as a person of 
affairs engaged in absorbing activities, her strength has been in con- 
siderate gentleness, and her heart and manner still have the wnnning i 
freshness of youth, no where more manifest than in the home, where 
she presides. 

Her husband, Hon. John Hudson Peck, LL.D., of Troy, New 
York, counsellor-at-law was born at the city of Hudson, New York, 
on the 7 February, 1838. He is the eldest son of the late Hon. Darius 
Peck (born 1802, died 1879) a prominent and influential citizen and 
thorough lawyer, who was for many years County Judge of Columbia 
County,. New York. His mother was Harriet M. Hudson (born 
1813, died 1863) youngest daughter of Horace Hudson and Sarah 
Robinson. Mr. Peck is descended on his father's side from the early 
Puritan settlers of New England. William Peck, his earliest pro- 
genitor in America, emigrated to this country with his wife and son 
Jeremiah in the ship Hector with the company of Governor Eaton and 
the Rev. John Davenport, and he was one of the founders, of the 
colony of New Haven in 1638. John Hudson Peck's natal year, 
therefore, marked the completion of two full centuries since his earl- 
iest" American ancestor came to this country. 

Mr. Peck was prepared for college under the able instruction of 
Mr. Isaac F. Bragg and the Rev. Elbridge Bradbury at the Hudson 
Classical Institute. He was graduated from Hamilton College at 
Clinton, New York, of which seat of learning his father was likewise 
an alumnus, with class of 1859. He was member of the Chi Psi 
fraternity, and, on graduation was elected into the Phi Beta Kappa. 
He chose the law for his profession and studied at Troy, New York 
under the direction of the Hon. Cornelius Tracy and the Hon. Jere- 
miah Romevn, and he was admitted to the bar at Albany in December

1 86 1. Very soon afterwards he entered Into a law partnership with 
Mr. Romeyn, which continued until April 1867. At that time he, 
with his former instructor, Mr. Tracy, formed the very successful 
law firm of Tracy and Peck, which was only terminated by the final 
illness of the senior member. Mr. Peck has been intrusted with the 
legal business of the Troy and Boston Railroad Company, the Troy 
Union Railroad Company, the Troy Savings Bank and with other 
business and financial corporations. (He has also been legal adviser 
in the administration of many^ private trusts and large estates. By 
his fellow citizens and professional colleagues he is regarded as an 
able, successful lawyer, thorough in application, assiduous in caring 
for the interests of his clients and entirely honorable in his methods. 

Outside of his profession Mr. Peck has identified himself with edu- 
cational interests. He became a trustee of the Troy Female Seminary 
in 1883. In May 1888 he was elected President ;of the Rensselaer 
Polytechnic Institute, the pioneer school of civil engineering as well 
as the most celebrated in this country. On account of increased de- 
mands upon his time in his profession, he retired from the presidency 
of the Institute in 1901. 

In public alifairs Mr. Peck has manifested an enterprising spirit. 
On all the view^s that divide men into parties his interest is large and 
his appreciation keen. Throughout his life he has been a convinced 
and consistent Democrat of the old school. He was elected a member 
from Rensselaer County of the Constitutional Convention of the 
State of New York of 1894. He served on two important committees 
on The Legislature and Education. He has taken an active part in 
the erection of many of the finest buildings in Troy. He was chair- 
man of the commission that erected the new^ granite Court house for 
the County of Rensselaer, one of four Trustees appointed by Mrs. 
Howard Hart to erect a marble fire-proof building for the Troy Pub- 
lic Library as a memorial to her husband. He also served on commit- 
tees for the erection of the Alumni Building of the Rensselaer Poly- 
technic Institute and Ganley Memorial Hall, Russell Sage Hall, and 
Anna M. Plum Memorial of the Troy Female Seminary (Emma 
Willard School). 

Mr. Peck is a member of the Society of Colonial Wars, through 
the services of John Peck, of the third generation in the French and 
Indian War. He Is also a son of the Revolution through the partici- 
pation of the same ancestor as a soldier in the Revolutionary War and 



324 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA 

also his great grandfather Israel Farris. He is a member of St. John's 
Episcopal Church, Troy, and a Trustee of the Diocese of Albany. 
He is a Trustee and Charter member of the American Scenic and 
Historic Preservation Society and also a member of the National Arts 
Club of New York City and the New York State Bar Association. 
In the City of Troy he is a member of the Chamber of Commerce 
and of the Troy Club. He has written voluminously for the news- 
paper press and has delivered many addresses. His manner of com- 
position is clear, conservative, instructive and logical. Moreover his 
writings arc characterized by dignity and stamped by culture. He 
was orator of the Society of the Alumni of Hamilton College at the 
Commencement in 1889. His discourse was spoken of by the Utica 
Herald as one of the ablest and most carefully prepared ever deliv- 
ered before tiie association, characterized by scholarly thought and 
fine rhetoric. The degree of LL.U. was conferred upon him on 
this occasion. Mr. and Mrs. Peck have no children.

Eliza Powell Mann, third daughter of Nathaniel and Sally 
Frances Slocum Mann, was born at Milton Hill Farm October 11, 
1845. Her primary education was had at the Public School on Mil- 
ton Hill, and, in those early days, she gave evidence of the sturdy, 
steady strength of character, which has marked her life. Her educa- 
tion was completed at the Sans Souci Seminary, conducted by the 
Rev. Dean Smith at the neighboring V^illage of Ballston Spa. After 
three years of conscientious work she was graduated June i865. 
While a young woman she became a member of Christ Episcopal 
Church, Ballston Spa. Her residence continued with the family on 
the farm for several years. 

She taught at her early school during the summers of 1872. '73 and 
'74. Later she spent a year and a half at the Mt. Carroll Seminary, 
Mt. Carroll, Illinois, founded and conducted by her mother's cousin, 
Mrs. Frances Wood Shimer. She availed herself of the opportunities 
there afforded to perfect her knowledge of modern methods in teach- 
ing and school administration. In September, 1883 she became a 
member of the faculty of the Troy Female Seminary, from which her 
mother had been graduated nearly half a century before. 

At the end of four years, in response to an urgent call from home, 
she returned to Milton, where she has since resided. Her father sur- 



AND IMtlR AI.I.IANCES 323 

vivcil his wife thirty-three years, and his daughters Anna and Eliza 
conducted his household until his decease in ii^X). hliza's natural 
tastes anil aptitudes led her to iissunie those out-door duties of u 
tanner's house which arc directed by his family. She took supervision 

'f the poultry. She became an enthusiastic gardener. W'^etables and 
^mall fruits were perfected under her care, and she kept herself well 
informed of the condition anil pr<»spects of the e,Tvat orchard. She 
was led to observe the more general operati«jns of farming and dairy- 
ing- CJradually she became conversant ^\ith the work of different 
seasons of the year and the rotations and methods by which the best 
results were obtained. She was a Kood listener when farminj; topics 
were discussed, and annually visited the Saratona County Fair, serv- 
ing occasionally as a judi^e in the domestic department. One \ear 
she received an appointment as judye in the New \'ork State Fair in 
line of the domestic departments and accepted it. She also gained 
much information from the papers read and iliscussed at the meetings 

't the Farmer's Institute which she attended with her father for a 
series of years. 

l'ncon<ciously and very gradually she acquired a knowledge of agri- 
cultural pursuits that for a woman was very unusual; and. although 
without practical experience, she had a va^^t amount of practical in- 
formation. ( )n the decease of her brother Jeremiah SlfKum Mann, 
who had worked the farm after his father's death in 1900. she with 
her sister Anna became the only members of the family residing on 
the place. To the surprise of everybod>, and of no one more than 
herself, sonnmhere. somehow business qualifications hail matured. 
She at once in April, I'jotj. took efficii-nt direction of the affairs of 
a large farm; and family, friends, neighbors and workmen recognized 
hers as the controlling judgment. It is so congenial that, while the 
nature of her happiness has of necessity changed, she has accepted the 
larger sphere with a sense of more abounding pleasure. Her grasp 
of routine and general operatiorrs is made effective by remarkable at- 
tention to detail. Her studious and steady efforts combined with 
natural caution and foresight are producing substantial and well 
assured results, dignifving the power and emergency made manifest.

Jeremiah Sf.ocum M \\\. only son of Nathaniel and Sall\ Fran- 
ces (Slocum) Mann, was born on Milton Hill Farm. October 24, 



326 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA 

1847, and died there in his fifty-ninth year 3 1 March, 1906. His early 
school days were spent while he still lived at home at the school of 
which his father was Trustee, and over which for a long series of 
years, he had given most intelligent supervision. Jeremiah was yet 
quite young when he was sent to a select school at Ballston Spa, the 
nearest village, conducted by Rev. James Gilmour. In this school 
he enjoyed the instruction of a noted teacher Neil Gilmour brother 
of the Principal and afterwards Superintendent of Public Instruction 
in the State of New York. Later he was placed in another school in 
the same village under the charge of Charles D. Seely. 

He acquired in his youth a very great fondness for reading, which, 
as years passed, constantly increased. His power of concentration of 
mind upon the contents of a book with which he was engaged was 
unusual. He had a habit of sight reading which seemed to include 
at a glance a large fraction of a page and had withal a memory of 
marvelous tenacity. Reading was his favorite and almost his only 
recreation. The long winters of his northern home afforded him 
ample leisure for gratifying his tastes. As a result, he rapidly 
became well informed on a great variety of subjects; and, before his 
death, his mind was a store house of accurate and clearly appre- 
hended facts. Few subjects could be broached in his presence 
in any company of which lie was not well informed. Literature, 
history, mechanics and applied science were favorite fields of 
study. He was, nevertheless, apparently unconscious that this 
facility and accuracy were in any way remarkable. If nothing 
occurred to call forth his powers in company, he never obtruded 
them. His conversation was never pedantic, but always inform- 
ing. After he left school, he resided for more than six ^-ears in 
the City of New York, and all his business hours were engaged 
in acquiring mercantile methods and experience. The same 
exactness of recollection of the business New Yorker of those 
da)'s was ever after as vivid as of his reading, and one might 
think, after a casual conversation that he was only an acute observer 
of city sights and men ; that he was a man of anecdote instead of 
broad and almost limitless information. The two phases of mind are 
nearly allied and yet are seldom found in the same person. Fond of 
social intercourse, he was a most companionable man and, after 
his return to the farm, a general favorite throughout a large section 
of his county. He was recognized in the community as a just, duti- 



AND TULIR ALLIANCES 327 

fill diligent man of high ideals, broad intelligence and unusual ca- 
pacity. With a singular freedom from personal aggressiveness, he 
won his way to a position of influence by quiet and sympathetic help- 
fulness. Masculine in every impulse, he was peculiarly sensitive to the 
trials and sorrows of others. The thought of suffering whether of 
man or beast distressed him, but he stood read\ with great resources 
to aid those whose pain he partly shared. He was public spirited 
and, without rancor or bitterness, took a brave and patriotic part in 
political contests. F^rom the time of his father's death in 1900 he was 
an official of the Agricultural Society of his county, and he grudged 
neither work nor any effort in its behalf. He loved the land and was 
devoted to country life. He was fond of animals, and they loved him. 
He revelled in rural laiuUcape and knew every fine view within a 
Jay's journey from his home. 

Responding, not very reluctantly, to a call to stand by his father's 
side during his declining \ears, he returned to the farm in the spring 
of 1872 influenced doubtless in some degree by his prevailing love of 
rural life, ^'ear by year gathered experience taught him that he had 
made a pecuniary sacrifice but those who knew him best always 
doubteil whether at heart he regretted the step. To his latest day 
he was enthusiastic in his expressions of the dignity and wholesome- 
ncss of life on the land. From the death of his father in August, 1900, 
he became the fourth in successive generations during more than a 
hundred years to work the Milton Hill Farm; and death found him 
there. He is buried in the Milton Hill Cemetery. 

At Milton Center, Saratoga County, New York, 5 June, 1877, 
he was married to Dorcas Klla Riggs. born 31 December, 1850, 
daughter of George Belden Riggs and Mary Antoinette Conklin. 
They were married by Rev. Dr. Walter Delafield, rector of Christ 
Church, HalKti^n Spa. Mr^. Mann with her two sons, survive,

Mary Willard Mann, youthful in years, was far more than a 
child in personality. She was born at Milton Hill Farm, lO Sep- 
tember, 1854, 3'ounj2;est child of Nathaniel and Sally Frances (Slo- 
cum) Mann and died there in her thirteenth year, 2 December, 1866. 
During her infancy, her mother was not in good health; and, when 
one year of age the care of Marv Willard was committed to her 
eldest sister Anna. Thus was developed between them an absorbing 
love, which combined maternal, filial and sisterly qualities. In early 
youth, following in the footsteps of her sisters and brother, she at- 
tended the neighboring school. She was an apt pupil, was very dili- 
gent and at once gave evidence of marked ability . At the time of her 
early death, she ranked as a pupil with those two years her senior. She 
presented herself for membership by baptism in the Episcopal Church 
at Ballston Spa several years before her death. 

She was always an engaging child and at once interested every one 
who met her. A child among children, she attracted them and joined 
playfully in their sports. Those of mature years also found her com- 
panionable, and she could successfully entertain them. The animals 
of the farm, the largest as much or more than the least of them were 
her friends; and, among her most delightful hours ^vere those she 
spent where they were. Her fondness for spirited horses and her 
fearlessness and skill in handling them early excited the pride and ad- 
miration of her father. He was a noted horseman and owned fine 
horses, and he would at any time during several years before her death 
trust this child alone with the best of them. She was allowed to 
drive young horses for miles without company- on public roads where 
he would have permitted few men to take them. At such times 
she had no trouble, and always received an obedience that was incredi- 
ble to one who had not observed it. She became a frequent com- 
panion of her father on his long drives as well as when he was occu- 
pied about the farm buildings or working in his farm shop. But it 
was her brother Jeremiah, seven years her senior who was her com- 
rade. The relation between them was a partnership in devotion. 

Harrison of Branford, Ct., who represented the town in Colonial Legislature 
for thirteen years. He was eighth generation from Thomas Nash, an earh' 
settler of New Haven. He was sixth generation from James Tallmadge of 
New Haven, one of the original projectors of the Grammar School, Captain 
of Cavalry and a member of the Connecticut Legislature for twenty years.

Ihey were each other's servants, heroes and defenders with a mutual 
unquestioning faith. The greatest grief of her short life was when 
he left the farm to take up mercantile pursuits in New York City. 
As his vacation^ approached each day was counted. Her traits so 
described may some of thmi si-em boyish to a stranger but they were 
all included in a nature that was preeminently domestic and feminine, 
rhtri- was nothing assertive, aggressive or arrogant in her character. 
Her power on the farm was the power of gentleness, that no man 
could yield. Her courage was fearlessness and her own trustfulness 
breil confidence. These same qualities made her a -womanly confi- 
dante and counsellor in the household and she was efficient too at 
much of its work. She could relieve on occasions her mother or any 
of her sisters detained from their own duties. This capable, con- 
scientious, unselfish, versatile child was always contented and happy. 
Her considerate sunny nature, mellowing the elements of her force- 
fulness, easily won for her ardent love and admiration in the home. 
With rare assurance, one may call her, this little girl, the just pride 
of every member of a large household. 

While this joy of living was at its height, the central life suddenly 
failed. Mar\ Willard passed awa\ . During her last summer and 
early autumn, she had been accustomed to take her mother, who was 
alreaii\ in failing health, on frequent drives about the country. It 
was her death that made the separation, but it was not for long. Her 
mother followed her in a few weeks, and the old homestead was 
doubly desolate. They were both laid in the Cemetery at Milton 
Hill, where the family dead during more than a hundred years lie 
buried. 



Nv\THAMEL MwN, jr., elder son (if Jeremiah Slocum Mann 
and Dorcas Ella Riggs, was born at Milton Hill Farm. March 28, 
187S and Avas of the fifth generation of the family to reside there. 
His grandfather. Nathaniel Mann was yet living, thus three genera- 
tions were making their home on the farm. This was the second 
time that a grandfather, a son and a grandson of this family had 
dwelt at Milton Hill Farm. During childhood Nathaniel attended 
the same schf)ol near home where his father and mother had obtained 
their early education. He later went to the Hallston High School 
where he was graduated in June 189b. In September of the same 



330 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA 

year, he entered the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute at Troy, New 
York, where his education was completed. He had already become a 
member of the Episcopal church and shortly after entering the In- 
stitute, he joined the Delta Phi College Fraternity. 

He began his professional work as civil engineer with the Chicago, 
North-Western Railway Coimpanj-. He continued in that employ- 
ment in the middle west for three years, engaged in railway con- 
struction and improvement in many States, including Illinois, Wis- 
consin, Michigan, Iowa and Nebraska. He thus gained much valuable 
experience and laid a foundation of practical facility in the field. 
His next work, in which he is yet engaged, is with the Public Serv- 
ice Corporation of New Jersey. His duties have again been in the 
line of construction and his success has been evidenced by a consider- 
able promotion. He resided at Newark, New Jersey, during the 
early part of his employment with this company, but his home now 
(1906) is at East Orange, New Jersey, 34 Linwood Place.

CoNKLiN Mann, second son of Jeremiah Slocum Mann and 
Dorcas Ella (Riggs) Mann was born at Milton Hill Farm December 
20, 1884. His education was begun at the neighboring school. Be- 
fore he was thirteen years old he entered the Ballston High School 
where he was graduated in June, 1901. He took an active part in 
Athletics while attending this school. Later he became a student 
at Hamilton College, Clinton, New York; and he was graduated 
there in June, 1906. He was prominent in Athletics during his col- 
lege course and was full back on the football team and the low 
hurdler of the track team. Before entering college he joined the 
Episcopal Church at Ballston Spa. At Hamilton College he became 
a member of the Chi Psi Fraternity. 

He was married at Syracuse, New York, May 9, 1906, to Maud 
Artemesia Thomson of Utica, New York, daughter of Charles I. 
Thomson and Anna Reed of Utica. Mrs. Conklin Mann was born 
at Holland Patent, New York. 24 June, 1885. 

Soon after his graduation Conklin entered on July i, 1906, the 
employment of the New York and New Jersey Telephone Company. 
He has recently been promoted to the position of Evening Manager 
for the Telephone Company in the Oranges. He resides at 34 Lin- 
wood Place, East Orange, New Jersey.

James Scovel' Slocum {Laton,^ IViUiam,' Jonathan.* Joseph,'^ 
Giles,* Samuel J^ Giles,- Anthony,^) born I2 July, 1827, on a farm 
in Exeter Township, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. His mother, 
Gratie (Scovel) Slocum, died 5 September, 1829, and his father died 
16 January, 1833. On account of this early bereavement, he lived 
many years with his uncle, Charles Fuller, who lived near the line 
of Exeter and Kingston Township until 1854, then moved into 
Scranton, the site of which was early known as Slocum Hollow from 
its early owner and developer, Ebenezer Slocum (241) granduncle 
of James. Here the subject of this sketch became prominent in 
business and political circles. His business prospered, and he acquired 
a rounded competence. He went with one of the emergency com- 
panies against the Southern Rebellion, beside engaging two substitutes. 
He was nominated as State Senator on the Republican ticket before 
Luzerne County was divided, and the majority was against him. He 
was one of the founders of the Lackawanna Hospital at Scranton, 
and much credit was given him for his efforts in securing financial 
aid for it at a critical period in its history. In iSbQ lie \\as ap- 
pointed Postmaster of Scranton by President Grant, and was re- 
appointed to a second term. After having served in this ofHce five 
years he resigned and returned to his father's homestead in Exeter, 
to reside with his brother, William Slocum (605). Here he was 
active in securing the incorporation of Exeter Borough from a portion 
of old Exeter Township. He was chosen the first Burgess of the 
Borough, also there served several years as Justice of the Peace, and 
School Director. He was a man of marked individuality. While 
'eccentric' was the most common expression regarding him, the few 
considerate persons admitted to his confidence spoke of him as a 
cyclopedia of information and a genial conversationalist. 71ie local, 
and some distant, politicians consulted him as an authority on con- 
troverted questions. In religion he deferred to the belief of his 
fathers — members of the Society of Friends. He built numerous 
tenement houses near his home, which are known as ' Slocums Settle- 
ment.' He also built here a handsome chapel at a cost of $7,000 or 
more. This was placed under control of the Presbyterian Church of 
West Pittston. of which his brother was at that time an official, with 
the understanding that the building might be used for Christian wor- 
ship by members of other denominations. He remained unmarried.

AzuBAH Minerva® Burnett {Isaac Burnett and Azubah^ Slo- 
cum, Joseph,' Eleazer,^ John,^ Eleazer,*^ Eleazer,^ Giles, ^ Anthony,^) 
was born 14 September, 1829, near the present Village of Northville, 
Fulton County, New York. She was there married 20 May, 1852, 
to Rev. William "Whitney Davenport, born 3 June, 1820, in the ad- 
joining Township of Edinburg, Saratoga County. She inherited 
from her mother, a saintly woman, good qualities of mind and heart. 
She made the best use of her educational advantages in the Public 
Schools, and attended the State Normal School at Albany. She also 
had experience as a teacher, all of which, with her good judgment, 
made her a valuable helpmate. 

Mr. Davenport, like this wife, was of sterling English blood, son 
of Thomas and his wife. Miss Higley, who moved from Colerain, 
Massachusetts, or Vermont, and were pioneer settlers near the Fulton- 
Saratoga line. His New England lineage is not before the writer. 
William W. first married Abigail Noyes, and moved to Tracy Creek, 
Broome Countj^ New York. To them were born six children, only 
two of whom survived infancy, viz. : Delos Thomas Davenport, 
now, 1907, of Los Angeles, California, and Sophronia Eliza Moulton, 
of Union, Broome Co., N. Y. William was a typical American 
Pioneer; ready and resourceful to clear the land and cultivate it, 



350 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA 

he could also readily adapt his large fund of ingenuity to the build- 
ing of a house, to the repairing of harness for his horses, or the shoes 
for his family; could mend, or even make any farm implement, run 
a sawing mill, graft fruit trees, extract teeth for his neighbors, and 
so on through and for all of the varied pioneer wants and lack of 
supplies, or money for their purchase. As was then often the case, 
he became possessed of a copy of Materia Medica and Faintly Physi- 
cian, and the numbered compounds of herbs, prepared by Samuel 
Thomson, the originator of the ' Thomsonian System of Medicine,' 
which was some years later succeeded by 'Electicism.' His active 
spirit could not rest here. He became a Pillar of 'The Reformed 
Methodist Church.' He would preach and continue his manual la- 
bor during the week. He was for some time a Visiting Elder, an 
office similar to that of Presiding Elder in the M. E. Church at 
present. He was once, or more. Chairman of the Annual Conference 
of The Reformed Methodist Church, and leader in the Ordaining 
of new ministers. 

In all of the labor necessary for the sustenance of thelmselves and 
children during these years, and in the labor of service for the spiritual 
betterment of their neighbors near and far, he found ready and ma- 
terial help in his wife, Azubah. She was the principal factor in the 
rearing and education of their children, and she yet ( 1907) survives at 
Union, New York, to bless them with her presence and counsels. 
They passed the winter of 1891 in Paris, France, with their son, Dr. 
Isaac B. Davenport. 

William W. Davenport died at Union, 20 March, 1899, of general 
decline consequent upon years of hard labor and age. Their children 
are:

Dr. Isaac Burnett^" Davenport {son of William W. Daven- 
port and wife Azubah M. Burnett, daughter of Isaac Burnett and 
wife Azubah^ Slocum, Joseph,'' Eleazer,^ John^ Eleazer,* Eleazer,^ 
Giles,- Anthony,'^) was born 12 May, 1854, at Tracy Creek, Vestal 
Township, Broome County, New York, and was reared on the farm 
where born. The short terms of Public School were valuably supple- 
mented by his mother's experience and aid. He also attended the 
Normal Class in the Binghamton, New York, High School, which 
enabled him to obtain license to teach; and he taught one term of 
four months when nineteen years of age. This was a great event in 
his life, including the twenty-five dollars a month pay. It was in a 
country district, a very severe winter, with much snow even to four 
feet in depth — and he 'boarded around,' spending a week or two 
with each family according to the number of children sent, not shun- 
ning the untidy. 

The following autumn, 1874, he entered the dental office of Dr. 
A. F. Davenport, his father's cousin, at North Adams, Massachusetts. 
At the same time he began courses of reading under the direction of 
physicians George Lawrence, of North Adams, and Samuel Duncan 
of Williamstofwn. P'eeling the need of a knowledge of Latin, he 
made arrangements with Frank Sprague, then a pupil in the High 



352 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA 

School, for an exchange of services, he to attend to Sprague's teeth 
and receive as payment Sprague's tutorage in Latin. This kind of 
management in young people indicates a spirit of commendable thrift, 
and later success. This Frank Sprague has become a great Patron of 
Industry; the Inventor of the Sprague Traction System, and builder 
of the first electric trolley railway, etc. Continuing his dental studies, 
our subject past the examination of the Board of Censors of The 
Dental Society of the State of New York in 1887, and received the 
degree of Master of Dental Surgery (M. D. S.). 

Also continuing his studies in medicine at The College of Physi- 
cians and Surgeons in New York City, Columbia University, he was 
there graduated Medical Doctor (M. D.), Class of 1879. This 
summer was past in the hospitals and dispensaries of New York as 
assistant, and he began to specialize on the eye and ear to make such 
practice his life work. But here necessity became the mentor, and 
changed his course along the lines of easier, and probably surer and 
greater success. His funds were exhausted and he 'was forced' to 
give up New York; and decision to return to dentistry was made. 

He returned to Williamstown, Mass., where as a student he had 
done some work and was somewhat acquainted ; and here his success 
began. His acquaintance extended; he became Member of the Medi- 
cal Society of Northern Berkshire ; of The American Dental Asso- 
ciation ; of The Connecticut Valley Dental Society, and soon one of 
its officers. He read papers before these societies, including a paper 
in 1 88 1 before The American Dental Association on A Study of the 
Etiology of Chemical Abrasion of the Cutting Edges of the Front 
Teeth. 

Some extensive dental work done for a summer visitor to Williams- 
town from New York, attracted the favorable attention of a New York 
dentist, and it resulted in Dr. Davenport going to Paris in 1883. 
Here he has built up one of the largest dental practices of Europe. 
It has also enabled 'him to render most efficient aid in establishing 
his brothers. Doctors William S. and Kirk A. Davenport, in the dental 
profession in Paris and London. He was in partnership with Drs. 
Bogue, Moffatt, Cook, and Daboll, the first few years of his practice 
in Paris, but has been in independent office since 1887, at the promi- 
nent 30 Avenue de I'Opera. 

Doctor Davenport's contributions to dental science have been ma- 
terial. The most important of the many papers presented to the 



AND THEIR ALLIANCES 353 

profession by reading before societies, and publication, are ' The Sig- 
nificance of the Natural Form and Arrangement of Dental Arches of 
Man,' in 1887; and in 1892 a continuation of this subject at the 
Heidelberg meeting of The American Dental Society of Europe. These 
papers had an important influence in discontinuing the pernicious prac- 
tice of filing and extracting of teeth, particularly against extraction of 
the first permanent molars. Their influence was also prominent in es- 
tablishing all dental operations upon a scientific basis; even to the 
originating of orthodontia. 

Doctor Davenport has been honored by societies of his profession: 
Is Honorary Member of The Odontological Society of New York; 
Associate Member of The Institute of Stomatology of New York; 
Associate Fellow of The American Academy of Dental Science, of 
Boston; Member of The National Dental Association of The U. S. 
A. ; Member of the Societe de Stomatologie de Paris (composed of 
medical men) ; Member of The American Dental Society of Europe. 
He has held official positions in this society, but declined the presi- 
dency after his election ; Member de Societe Frangaise pour I'Avance- 
ment des Sciences; once a Member of the Committee (of three) for 
France, of the Foreign Relations Committee of the National Associa- 
tion of Dental Faculties, which position he resigned ; Member of the 
Congress of Organization of several International Dental Congresses; 
was chairman of Section of Pathology and Bacteriology of the Third 
International Dental Congress held in Paris, 1900; Member of the 
Committee of Organization of the first Congres Frangais de Stoma- 
tologie held in Paris in August, 1907. In 1898 he received from the 
reigning Prince Luitpold of Bavaria the decoration of Chevalier 
le rOrdre Royal de St. Michel de Baviere, for services rendered 
the Royal Family of Bavaria, especially after the fatal fire in Paris 
of the Bazar de la Charite. For identification of many of the 
burned victims, it was necessary for Dr. Davenport to examine 
the teeth of nearly forty; and, after rejecting a body already ac- 
cepted by the family upon supposed evidence, he was finally enabled 
to identify from his work on the teeth a head and trunk with only 
one arm attached, as the remains of the Duchesse d'Alenqon, daugh- 
ter of the King of Bavaria, sister of the late Empress of Austria, 
sister of the Queen of Naples, etc. By aid of his Record Charts 
of all his operations, he was enabled to establish the identity beyond 
all question, first to the official medical experts, second police ex-

perts, third to the full satisfaction of the family of the victim. 
Other mistaken identifications were thus corrected. Many ques- 
tions in jurisprudence are involved in such cases, and the identi- 
fication must be beyond question. Amoeda's noted Traite de I' Art 
Dentaire in Medicine Legale is a result of the general deep impression 
of the importance and accuracy of the methods employed in these cases. 
March i, 1907, Dr. Davenport received from the French authori- 
ties a decoration as Officier de I'Academie Frangais, which shows

1884, Josephine Victorine Coutin, who was born 8 June, 1854, at St. 
Jorioz, Haute-Savoie, France, daughter of Michel and Louise (Chap- 
pet) Coutin. When a young lady she past two years in Rio de 
Janeiro, Brazil, in the family of her sister, the wife of Joshua Bailey, 
an American, and personal friend of Horace Greeley, William Lloyd 
Garrison, and like notables. Later she accompanied them to the 
United States; and attended school at the Convent of the Sacred 
Heart Ermost, Providence, Rhode Island. This marriage has been 
blest with children, viz.: 

i. Nellie Burnett Davenport, born 30 August, 1885, at Bois de 
Colombe, near Paris, France. 

ii. Minnie May Davenport, b. 5 May, 1887, Neuilly, Paris. 

iii. Ralph Slocum Davenport, born 12 April, 1891, at 30 Avenue 
de I'Opera, Paris.

Seine et Oise, France; died i6 January, 1908. His remains v^'ere 
deposited in the Vault of The American Church, Rue de Berri, 
No. 21 in which Church the funeral was held. 

The daughters are graduates of the Lycee Racine, Paris, and possess 
decided literary tastes. Nellie's poetry has already attracted very 
favorable attention, even from so great a poetess as the Comtesse 
de Noailles. Ralph is 1907 at school in the Lycee Condorcet, Paris. 
It is in the minds of the family that, after he obtains the baccalaureate, 
he be sent to the United States for a dental education, with the hope 
of his becoming his father's successor in this profession. The Doctor 
retains for himself and children American citizenship. 

Doctor Davenport's 'hobbies' he writes, are bacteriology and 
histology. He has followed complete courses of the former in both 
the Ecole de Medicine, and the Institut Pasteur, Paris, under 
Metchnikoff and Roux, and private courses in the latter. Other

Peace, in which office he served several years. He soon became in- 
terested in the manufacture of wood pulp for paper, later carrying 
on the process to its completion to paper for various uses, including 
pressed plates. Improved machinery has been added from time to 
time until the product has materially improved both in quantity and 
quality. He was largely interested in building the Lowville and

now holds (1906). He was also instrumental in the organization 
of the National Pulp Board Company, composed of fifty paper manu- 
factures; and he was chosen First Vice-President, and Chairman of 
the Executive Coimmittee for six years during the existence of the 
organization. His paper manufacturing interests have multiplied 
and now exist in The J. P. Lewis Co., Lewis and Slocum, 619, Lewis, 
Slocum and Le Fevre, and The Lewis Manufacturing Company. 

Mr. and Mrs. Lewis are ardent Methodists. They were untiring 
in their efforts for the new building of the First Methodist Episco- 
pal Church at Beaver Falls. He has continued Superintendent of

he purchased a half interest in the dry goods business of the late Hon. 
Thomas V. Welsh. This business was conducted four years with 
the firm name H. E. Slocum and Company. 

In 1892 Humphrey E. sold his interest to his partner, and retired 
from the dry goods trade. He moved to Beaver Falls, N. Y., where 
he yet (1907) resides, engaged in the manufacture of wood pulp 
paper board, under the firm name of The J. P. Lewis Company (In- 
corporated ) .

of the party. Although not an active politician he was nominated

his close district, and was elected in 1903 with 822 majority. For 
this term he was appointed on the Committees of Afifairs of Villages, 
Public Lands and Forestry, and Agriculture. In 1905 he was re- 
elected by a largely increased majority, and was appointed on the

Brigadier-General Willard® Slocum {Elias,'' EleazerJ^ John,^ 
Eleazer,^ Eleazer,^ Giles, "^ Anthony,'^) was born 8 April, 1820, on 
a farm near the present City of Ashland, Ohio. He was educated 
in the Public Schools and in Kenyon College; and he taught Public 
Schools several terms. He also early became prominent in local 
affairs, including politics, and so remained to the close of a long and 
busy life. He studied law in the same office with John Sherman, 
brother of the General, and was admitted to its practice at the same 
time, in the early 1840s. He soon attained, and retained a leading 
position in his profession. At the first call for troops against the 
Southern Rebellion he became active in recruiting for a number of 
organizations, and his labors in this direction were valuable to the 
State and Country. He was chosen officer of some of these recruits, 
but the Governor, and Commanders of Camps, desired to keep him 
at this work. Later, he insisted on going to the front, and he 
marched away with the 120th Regiment of Ohio Volunteer Infantry, 
as its Adjutant. He was commissioned Major 18 March, 1863, and 
Lieutenant-Colonel the 8th September; and he took command of the 
Regiment on account of the severe wounding of Colonel Spiegle in 
February, 1864. He was with General Banks in his Red River 
Expedition, when Colonel Spiegle was among the first killed, and 
the escape of the Regiment was bloody and narrow. He was bre- 
vetted Brigadier-General 13 March, 1865, 'for meritorious service in 
the field.' For more details of service see Volume L 

Early in the 1880s he became interested at O'Neill, Nebraska, and 
passed eight or ten years there; but as infirmities deepened, he re- 
turned to his home at Ashland. He here died 23 September, 1894, 
after a lingering illness. His funeral was very largely attended by 
old soldiers and by all classes. 

His widow, Caroline Augusta Carr, died 7 December, 1901, aged 
over seventy-two years, at the home of her son, Morton, in Chicago, 
Illinois, where she was visiting. She was buried in Ashland, beside 
her husband, to whom she had been a veritable helpmate. She was 
possessed of many admirable native endowments, and was well cul- 
tured in the Ashland Academy, the Seminary at Canton, and The

Walter Leslie" Slocum {Benjamin F.,^ Oliver W.,'' Jonah,^ 
John,^ Eleazer,'^ Eleazer,^ Giles," Anthony,^) was born 15 Novem- 
ber, 1 86 1, at Manchester, near Erie, Pennsylvania. In 1862 or '63 
his parents moved into Erie; and about 1870 they moved their family 
into the Petroleum region of Pennsylvania, first to Tarr Farm, and 
in 1875 to Rynn Farm, one mile south; in 1876 to Bradford; in 
1877 back to Erie, and in the spring of 1878 back into the oil region 
of Allegany, New York; and in 1882 to Olean, N. Y- The occu- 
pation of the father during these years was that of 'Torpedo Agent' 
in control of the high explosives to be lowered into the deep Petro- 
leum Wells and exploded at or near the bottom to fracture the rock 
and facilitate the flow of Petroleum into and up the well. In this 
work Walter assisted as he became old enough, attending the Public 
School as opportunity presented. In the summer of 1882 his parents 
moved to Indian River, Cheboygan County, Michigan, and Walter 
followed in January. The father homesteaded eighty acres of land, 
and they entered upon its improvement and cultivation. In the 
spring of 1885 Walter entered homestead claim of eighty acres of 
land by the upper Black River, in Cheboygan County, and during 
the next three years when not on this land he followed various oc- 
cupations — lumberman, hotel clerk, guide for guests of summer re- 
sort hotel, and machine repairing. 

In the spring of 1888 he went to Grand Rapids, Michigan, and 
regularly took up his trade of locksmith and light machine repairer, 
which he yet (1907) continues in this place. 

He was married by Rev. R. M. Thompson, 11 July, 1889, at 
Mullet Lake, Mich., to Phebe R., daughter of Louis and Phebe S. 
(Blanchard) Recolly, formerly of Cheboygan, where she was born

Tp., Duchess Co., New York, 22 June, 1836, and was reared from 
the age of five years at Fish House Village, Northampton Tp., Ful- 
ton Co., N. Y. He was educated in the Public Schools, at Amster- 
dam Academy, and took the full course of study at The Claverick In- 
stitute, Columbia County, N. Y. 

Here he met Alice S. Quinby, whom he married 27 April, 
1858. He united with the Methodist Episcopal Church at the age 
of twenty-one years from the preaching of his aunt, Sara Thomp- 
son, a woman of great spiritual powder and of large influence over 
his life for good. He soon answered the call to the ministry, was 
accepted, and joined the Troy Conference in 1868. He began his 
work in Edinburg, Saratoga Co., adjoining his home in North- 
ampton. During the first year of his labors there were two hun- 
dred additions to the Church, many being aged men. He served 
other appointments; at Brunswick, Nassau and Brainard, Benning- 
ton, Vt., Levings, Troy, Ballston Spa, Valley Falls, Malta Ridge. 
During these ministrations he led movements for the building of 
new Church Houses, parsonages, and for repairing the old. He also 
left his congregations largely increased in numbers and efficiency. 

The lowering of his physical powers from overwork and exposure, 
led to an attack of diphtheria which resulted in paralysis of the 
vocal organs, and necessitated his taking the supernumerary relation 
in 1884. His many friends felt this affliction a great loss to them- 
selves and to the Church. He suffered on, but the later years were 
marked with an increasing and abiding faith. He died at Saratoga 
Springs, N. Y., 28 November, 1906. He had three children, sons; 
the deaths of two are given in Volume I. Of the other:

George Engs^ Slocum {Matthew B/ Benja?nin/' John,^ Ben- 
jamin,'^ Eleazer,^ Giles," Anthony,'^) was born 20 June, 1824, in 
Delphi, Onondaga County, New York. He learned the tinner's 
trade and in 1841 went by canal to Rochester, where he worked 
at this trade eight years. He returned to Onondaga County in 
1848 to marry Lydia Ann Fort, and at once returned to Monroe 
County with her. In 1849 they settled at Scottsville, this county, 
where he engaged in the hardware business. He was conservative, 
industrious and successful. 

An active Republican in political belief, he was not an office 
seeker; but he served several years as assessor of his Township, and 
as school district clerk. His diversion was largely in local history, 
and of this he gathered a great stock of valuable data which made 
him the best informed citizen in the history of his community. At 
the Centennial Celebration of his Township, Wheatland, he de- 
livered the historical address. In 1871 he was one of the founders 
of the Scottsville Literary Society, which has continued an active 
factor in the social and literary life of the Village. He read articles, 



AND THEIR ALLIANCES 375 

and delivered addresses before this Society; and two publications by 
the Society were prepared by him. 

He was of kindly heart; avoided the antagonisms of life as much 
as possible, and sought to enjoy with his friends and neighbors the 
amenities of life. Upon the organization of Grace Church in Scotts- 
ville, 1885, he identified himself with it, became member of the 
vestry, and was its clerk. He was member of the Rochester His- 
torical Society. 

They died in Scottsville, N. Y., she 22 April, 1904, he 13 No- 
vember, 1906, and were there buried in Oatka Cemetery. 

During the last year of his life he manifested great interest in 
the writer's work on this book; and he tried to get full report from 
each one of his immediate relatives, often lamenting their apparent 
want of interest, and dilatoriness after promise. 

He prepared a MS. History of the Town of Wheatland, Monroe 
County, New York. This is 1907 being edited for publication by 
his friend Rear Admiral Franklin Hanford, U.S.N, (retired).

Mors Ostrander^ Slocum {George E/ Mattheiu B.~' Ben- 
jamins^ John/' Benjamin,'^ Eleazer/ Giles/ Anthony,^) was born 
24 December, 1866, in Scottsville, Monroe County, New York. 
He was graduated at the University of Rochester, and in engineer- 
ing at the Stevens Institute of Technology. He then engaged with 
the Western Electric Company, with which corporation he is yet, 
1907, employed, this being the eighteenth year with them. Five 
years of this time were passed in New York City. In 1891 he was 
transferred to the Chicago office, where he yet remains; and since 
1899 has been connected with telephone sales department. 

He takes an interest in public affairs, although he has never held 
office, or sought to do so. In the sixth ward, Chicago, where he 
resides, he has been active in politics, having been one of the leaders 
in the general movement which elected Charles S. Deneen Gover- 
nor of Illinois in 1905. He is president of the 31st precinct of his 
ward. He joined the Hamilton Club in 1901 and is a regular 
noon-day attendant. In college he was a member of the Delta 
Kappa Epsilon fraternity. He also belongs to the Royal Arcanum; 
is a director of the Hyde Park Protective Association, and for sev- 
eral years has been a trustee of the Forty-first Street Presbyterian 
Church, Chicago. 

He was married 27 December, 1894, in Rochester, New York, 
to Gertrude Goodwill Glass, born 9 March, 1867, there, daughter 
of Heman and Lucy Ann (Goodwill) Glass. 

Like his father he took great interest in this book, and supple- 
mented his father's efforts to have his immediate relatives well rep- 
resented.

xMajor-General Henry Warner^ Slocum {Matthew B.~' 
Benjamin,^ JohnJ' Benjamin * Eleazer,^ Giles,^ Anthony/) was born 
24 September, 1826, in Delphi, Onondaga County, Ne^v York. He 
died of pneumonia at his home in Brooklyn, N. Y., 14 April, 1894. 
His wife, Clara Rice Slocum, died in March, 1898. See Volume I. 

The Legislature of the State of New York enacted a Bill 30 
March, 1896, to erect a statue on the Battlefield of Gettysburg in 
honor of this eminent soldier; and this Act became a law by approval 
of Gov. Levi P. Morton 4 April, 1896. A heroic size equestrian 
statue in bronze was settled upon by The Monuments Commission, 
and it was erected on Culp's Hill. It was dedicated lO September, 
1903, in the presence of the family of the deceased, the Governors 
of several States, and many other prominent men, civil and military, 
including over one thousand soldiers and ex-soldiers of General 
Slocum's former commands.* The bronze letter tablets on the sides 
of the granite pedestal are each four feet nine and three-quarter 
inches wide by three feet ten and one-eighth inches high. They read 
as follows, beginning on the westerly side, viz. : 

Major General Henr,v Warner Slocum, U. S. V. 1826-1894. In command 
of Right Wing of The Army of The Potomac at The Battle of Gettys- 
burg July I, 2, 3, 1863. "Stay and Fight it Out" Gen. Slocum at Council 
of War, July 2, 1863. Erected by State of New York, 1902. 

♦Edward C Potter is the artist of this statue. It was cast in bronze by 
the Gorham Manufacturing Company of Providence, R. I. The features 
of the General were acceptable to his family; and Gov. Franklin Murphy, 
of New Jersey, one of the speakers at the Dedication, and a soldier io 
Gen. Slocum's command, said in part of his address: . . . "If you will 
look at his face — and I never saw a more speaking face in bronze than 
that face yonder — you will understand how it was that General Slocum 
easily won and always held the confidence and affection of his soldiers." 

The general dimensions of the granite pedestal are twent\'-one feet eight 
inches long, fifteen feet ten inches wide, and sixteen feet three and one- 
half inches high, divided into ten courses. The bronze statue, including 
plinth, is fifteen feet six inches to the top of the head of the rider (entire 
monument 31 ft. 9 1-2 inches from ground) ; the plinth measuring eleven 
feet nine and three-quarter inches long by four feet wide. 

The Legislative appropriation for this admirable monument was $30,000 
The cost of it was $29,941.57.

cum resigned from the Army and was Honorably discharged. 

Maj .-Gen. Daniel E. Sickles, U. S. A., Chairman New York 
Monuments Commission for the Battlefield of Gettysburg, presented 
the Monument to Governor Odell. He said in part: 

. . . These people are here to-day to dedicate this statue of their beloved 
commander . . . erected by a grateful Commonwealth to commemorate his 
heroic services on this Battlefield. This Battlefield has become hallowed 
ground for the people whose kindred have contended here for the life of 
the Nation. More than a million of our citizens have come to Gettysburg 
since July, 1863. . . . No battlefield on earth is so consecrated by 
loving tokens of remembrance. . . . New York may well be satisfied 
with her part in the Battle of Gettysburg. . . . The day before Hooker 
was relieved from command it was arranged that Slocum should intrench 
his Army Corps, reinforced by 10,000 men to be withdrawn from Harper's 
Ferry, on Lee's line of communication, a position from which Slocum could 
not have been driven. If Hooker had not been superseded Slocum would 
have been at Williamsport on the Potomac with 20,000 men intrenched, and 
Lee would never have returned to Virginia with his army. 

On the night of July 2, 1863, after a bloody battle, fought on the after- 
noon of that day on our left flank, a council of war was convened by the 
commanding general, to consider our situation, and advise him what to do. 
The Corps commanders present expressed their views in order of their 
rank respectively. Slocum being the ranking ofiicer in the council, was the 
last to reply. He said "Stay and fight it out." That speech settled the 
matter. ... It was Spartan eloquence, and won the assent of the coun- 



AND THEIR ALLIANCES 379 

cil. "Stay and fight it out" was the advice given by the council to General 
Meade, who was not satisfied with his position at Gettysburg. The Army 
of the Potomac did "stay and fight it out." The victory gained is the best 
comment that can be made on Slocum's judgment. "Stay and fight it out" 
would be a good motto for Slocum's descendants. "Stay and fight it out" 
would be a good motto for all our American youth. We have inscribed it 
there on the pedestal of this statue, where for centuries to come American 
soldiers will read Slocum's inspiring speech: "Stay and fight it out." . . . 
I am thankful to have been spared to come here to-day to assist in the 
dedication of this Monument to my comrade and friend, the foremost soldier 
New York sent to the field during the Civil War. ... He never failed. 
He never lost a color or a gun. Although his voice will never again be 
heard by his beloved comrades, this heroic figure will stand for ages to 
come as a type of an American Commander, modest, resolute, sagacious, 
brave 

Governor Odell followed in a brief address, as follows, in part: 

Gettysburg will always occupy a place in history as the decisive battle 
of the Southern Rebellion, and perhaps to a greater extent than any other 
this field will be the Mecca of those who in years to come desire to pay 
tribute to the memory of the brave men who sacrificed their lives in de- 
fense of our Nation's honor 

What might have happened if the tide of battle upon this field had 
turned against the North cannot be conceived. . . . 

New York has a pride in this field, because here, perhaps, to a greater 
extent than in any other battle, she showed her devotion by furnishing a 
greater number of men. In the patriotic General, whose Monument we 
dedicate to-day, was found one of those sturdy men who knew not only 
duty but who gave to its performance an intelligence which insured to 
him the respect and confidence of his associates and those whom he led. 
He and the brave men of New York and other States of the Union need 
no monument to perpetuate their glory. Monuments may be erected as 
the Nation's tribute, but our Country and this Battlefield stand as the monu- 
ment of their devotion, their patriotism and their heroism 

Then followed an Oration by Gen. James C. Rogers, of the 
Twelfth Army Corps, which was long and eulogistic. Excerpts are 
here given : 

It was my good fortune to have been associated with General Slocum 
during a large part of his brilliant military career, and because I knew 
him and loved him with the enthusiastic ardor that a young soldier feels 
for the Chief in whom he trusts and believes. And General Slocum had 
that in him, both as officer and man, to inspire confidence, admiration and 
love. . . . 

And now, after all this time has passed, with the impressions of all 
those early days strengthened by the judgment of maturer years, I can 



380 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA 

truthfully say that in the combination of high soldierly qualities with the 
purest patriotism, in decision of character and the power of quick adaptation 
of means to the end to be accomplished, in coolness and courage, Henry 

W. Slocum was the peer of all 

General Slocum, although a West Point graduate and regular army 
officer, had resigned from the army before the breaking out of the war, 
and his mind had been broadened and humanized, as it were, by daily con- 
tact with all kinds of men in civil life. He knew and recognized better 
than most officers who had remained in the service and whose duties had 
run in the narrow channels of army life in time of peace, that the young 
officers and men of the volunteer regiments of those days were not of the 
kind who had been in the habit- of enlisting before the war, but were of 
the best blood of the land and could be moulded and made effective as 
soldiers more by kindness and by the inspiration of duty than by rough 
handling and the compulsion of fear. And during the months that fol- 
lowed, both in the Valley and at Stafford Court House, he brought the 
Twelfth Corps, whose emblem was the Star, into such a state of discipline 
and effectiveness that it compared favorably with even the gallant corps of 
our Chairman [Gen. Sickles] and what higher praise could I give it than 
that ... Of course, it is mere speculation now; but one cannot help think- 
ing of what would have been the result if, after Lee's army had been de- 
feated here [at Gettysburg] and promptly followed up, a cool, determined 
fighter like General Slocum, with twenty thousand men, had been at 
the fords of the upper Potomac to head it off [as Gen. Hooker had planned 
before he resigned] . In that event, how much of that army and its im- 
mense baggage train would have recrossed the river, into Virginia? . . . 
I remember as though it were but yesterday, that long, dry and dusty march 
on July I, 1863. The men had tramped many miles through heat and dust, 
under a burning sky, and were ready to drop with fatigue, when late in 
the afternoon, General Slocum came riding by us towards the head of the 
column. As he passed he said in his cheery, pleasant way, as I have no 
doubt he said to the regiments behind us, "Press on men, as rapidly as 
you can! there is fighting in front of us. Press on and follow me!" And 
at once that tired and drooping column straightened up as if a thrill of 
new life and strength and energy had been put into it, and hurrying on 
came upon the field of battle [Gettysburg] too late for that day's conflict, 
but ready for the fighting of the days that followed. Such was General 
Slocum's power over his troops. 



Look at his record, briefly summed up . . . distinguishing himself 
at the Battle of Gaines' Mill and other battles of the Peninsular Campaign, 
and afterwards at Crampton's Pass and Antietam; then promoted to the 
command of the Twelfth Army Corps, he made it the magnificent fighting 
machine whose prowess at Chancellorsville and Gettysburg has given it 
a conspicuous place in history; and in the west, as the trusted lieutenant 
of the dauntless Sherman, in his marvelous marches and campaigns, he ends 
the fighting in that department with his victory at Bentonville. Not one 



AND THEIR ALLIANCES 38 1 

mistake, not one event in those long years of active leadership which we 
would wish to blot out. And then when the war is over and that for 
which he fought is won, he sheathes his sword and returns to the peaceful 
avocations of the citizen. Oh, life is worth living when it can furnish 
such a record as this! Is it any wonder that the officers and men whom he 
commanded trusted and believed in him and loved him? Is it any wonder 
that the great State of New York erects this magnificent statue to his mem- 
ory on this historic Battlefield

Col. Archie E. Baxter then delivered an Oration on the 20th 
Army Corps. This effort was long, eloquent, poetic, and is here 
sketched, viz. : 

• ••■••••■■••• • 

Nearly forty years ago ! And yet in the midst of these impressive sur- 
roundings, how thrillingly come thronging back memories of the old times. 

Our purpose here naturally recalls recollections of the illustrious soldier 
who, at a crisis in this great struggle, averted irretrievable disaster and made 
possible the victory that marked the beginning of the end of the Confederacy, 
brought fresh renown to our arms and a luster to our flag that will never 
fade. As boys we loved, trusted and were proud of this great captain, and 
confidently followed wherever he led. To-day, as men, many of us grown 
old beyond our years, we are reverently gathered to honor his memory. 
Patriotic New York has been generous with monuments and statues in 
honor of her sons, but never has she erected one more deserved than is 
this in commemoration of the inestimable services to State and Nation of her 

greatest soldier, Major-General Henry Warner Slocum Genial, 

warm-hearted and familiar, but through his innate dignity restraining ex- 
cesses and exacting the respect due him and his exalted station. We see 
him in the heat of battle, cool, deliberate and self-poised amid the wild ex- 
citement, the awful crash and roar — but mark the change when he discovers 
that 'some one has blundered;' the whole man seems transfigured; there 
is a terrible intensity in the compressed lips, the blazing eyes. It is not the 
joy of conflict, the lust of battle, but rather the outward mark of a relent- 
less will, of a determination to save what the blunder has endangered, to 
triumph for his flag and country. Let the battle roar, the lines surge and 
waver, he never loses his soldierly grasp of the situation. No sudden re- 
verse discourages or dismays 

As General Slocum's command was the first to enter Atlanta, so was it 
the first, in the person of the gallant Gen. Henry A. Barnum and his men, 
to scale the Confederate works and enter the city of Savannah. 

His mid-winter march with heavy wagon-trains and artillery through 
the flooded swamps and across the swollen and bridgeless rivers of the 
Carolinas, was one of General Slocum's great achievements. At Averas- 
boro he won a handsome victory over General Hardee. Near Bentonville, 
Gen. Joe Johnston, discovering that our two wings were moving by di- 
vergent lines, massed his whole force and entrenched in General Slocum's 



382 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA 

front, intending to surprise him and crush his army. But General Slocum 
was alert and rapidly deployed in line of battle. While his men were hur- 
riedly gathering fence rails for barricades, using their tin plates and cups for 
shovels, the shock of battle broke upon them. Out of the woods in front 
burst the gallant gray lines. Their flags were waving gayly in the sun- 
light; sabres flashed and bayonets gleamed. To our waiting lines front- 
ing the onset it was a thrilling sight. On, though ploughed and torn by our 
artillery, with the steadiness of veterans confident of success, they came. 
Midway across the field they broke into a run and, with the old Confederate 
yell, came sweeping towards us. Suddenly from our ranks leaped sheets 
of living flame. Volley after volley ran flashing, rattling and hissing down 
our lines. Thinned and staggered by the withering fire they wavered, broke 
and went reeling back across the field. Again and again with desperate 
courage they recklessly charged, and though men of the blue and of the 
gray fell side by side, six times were they driven back over a field thickly 
strewn with their wounded and dead. Then, as the sun broke through the 
smoke of battle and bathed our flag in a flood of glory, from our triumph- 
ant lines the old Union cheer burst from the lips of veterans who, in grim 
silence, had fought like heroes and splendidly won the last material battle 
of the Southern Rebellion. 

Bentonville was known as Slocum's battle. Here practically ended his 
military career. The war was over, the Union saved and liberty pro- 
claimed throughout the land, his heart turned longingly towards the pur- 
suits of peace, and he gladly sheathed his sword forever. . . . 

He had proved equal to every trust committed to him. His heart had been 
untouched by intrigue, quarreling, rivalry, envy or disappointed' ambition. 
Unmindful of personal advancement he sought only his country's safety and 
glory. 

As a citizen, though crowned with the lustre of great achievements, he 
bore himself so meekly there was no reminder of the days when his words 
were potent upon fields of mighty conflict. Successful, esteemed and loved, 
he might, had he but consented to "stoop to conquer," have held the high- 
est places within the gift of his countrymen. Amid the cares and responsi- 
bilities of an active life, he took pleasure in guarding with watchful care 
the welfare of the helpless veterans at the State Soldiers' Home, and in 
advancing the educational interests of the children of the city of his adop- 
tion. Time had already whitened the honored head, but had left throbbing 
within the old soldier's breast a great, tender, loving heart. When the 
'taps' sounded and his light went out forever, his City lost her most il- 
lustrious citizen, his State her greatest soldier. 

The dedicatory exercises of New York's Equestrian Statue of 
General Slocum on the Gettysburg field closed here with a bene- 
diction. 



AND THEIR ALLIANCES 383 

Long before his decease General Slocum chose Colonel William 
F. Fox as Historian of his Twelfth Army Corps. Colonel Fox 
served under General Slocum, at times in both the Twelfth and 
Twentieth Corps; and The New York Monuments Commission 
printed his Life of General Slocum, and his Slocum and His Men, 
following their Report to the State regarding the Monument and 
its Dedication, from which Report the foregoing has been excerpted. 
Included in the Commission's large volume* are Colonel Fox's His- 
tory of the General and his men, with some of the General's cor- 
respondence, and letters received from General Sherman, other offi- 
cers, and citizens in high authority, which were placed in the 
Colonel's hands by the General's family. The following are excerpts 
from Colonel Fox's writings: 

To obtain the higher education which he keenly desired, Henry Warner 
Slocum engaged in business ventures of a minor character which were suc- 
cessful, and at sixteen he secured a position as teacher in a country school. 
He entered the seminary at Cazenovia, N. Y., and afterward 
studied at the State Normal School in Albany. He then returned to Caze- 
novia where he resumed teaching, this time in one of the Public Schools of 
that town. 

General Howard, in his reminiscences of Slocum's life at the Military 
Academy, says: "It was my good fortune, my second year, during Cadet 
Slocum's first class-year, to room on the floor just below him. Of course, 
there was class separation, and I was three years his junior; but he treated 
me with kindness and attention. His individuality especially impressed it- 
self upon me. He expressed himself openly, when it cost so much to do so, 
as an opponent of human slavery. The pro-slavery sentiment at West Point 
was so great at that time that it derogated from one's popularity to express, 
or even be suspected of, abolition sentiments. In spite of the opposition 
thus awakened, and his known attitude against prevailing opinion, Cadet 
Slocum was, nevertheless, highly esteemed by all thoughtful fellow cadets, 
resulting in a lasting respect, which was only deepened by his subsequent 
life."t .... 

Although many of Slocum's classmates entered the Academy with the advan- 
tage of a collegiate education he maintained a high standing in his scholastic 
work and graduated seventh in a class of forty-three.

384 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA 

With the firing of the first gun on Sumter his former military ambition 
revived. . . . He went to Albany, called upon the Governor and 
tendered his services to the State. He did not ask for a commission as 
brigadier-general or a colonelcy, although he was far better qualified to fill 
either position than most of the men to whom these appointments were given. 
He merely asked for authority to recruit a batte*-;- of light artillery. But the 
Governor, imbued with the optimistic spirit of the hour, gravely informed him 
that the South would be subdued without the use of artillery, and the modest 
application was denied.* . . . 

He accepted commission as Colonel of the 27th Regiment, New 
York Infantry, 21 May, 1861. . . At the Battle of First Bull Run 
his regiment distinguished itself by its efficiency in action and its steadiness 
under a severe fire amid scenes of confusion and panic. Colonel Slocum at- 
tracted favorable attention by the conspicuous gallantry with which he handled 
his regiment in the battle until he was carried off the field, suffering from a 
severe wound. ... In this battle the Twenty-seventh sustained 
a loss of 230 killed, wounded and missing 

The marked efficiency of the regiment in this, the first general engagement of 
the war, furnished ample evidence of the skillful training bestowed upon it 
by its accomplished Colonel. The Government quickly recognized the mili- 
tary ability of the man whose services at Bull Run contrasted so strongly with 
the incapacity and ignorance displayed there by many favorites from whom 
great things had been expected; and before Slocum had recovered from his 
wound he was cheered and gratified by the announcement of his promotion 
to the rank of brigadier.t 

At the start his brigade received some wholesome lessons from the dis- 
ciplinarian who commanded them. For instance, in a letter written home from 
Alexandria, Va., October 11, 1861, Slocum says: "I have been very fortunate 
in securing control of my brigade. One day last week eighteen officers of 
the Sixteenth [New York Regiment] addressed a communication to me rela- 
tive to one of my orders on the subject of depredations on private property. 
They thought it very severe, and 'respectfully demanded' its modification. 
I at once placed every one of them in arrest, and confined them to their tents. 
Within a day or two the most humble apologies commenced pouring in, and 
finally every one was released. But it had a wonderful effect." 

At West Point or Eltham's Landing, May 7, 1862, Franklin's 
Division engaged the enemy, an action in which the conduct of General Slo- 
cum 'was admirable' as described in the official report of his superior. Upon 
the assignment of General Franklin to the command of the newly organized 
Sixth Corps, Slocum succeeded him as General of the division — First Divis- 
ion, Sixth Corps. An old story this — the fortunes of war. In 1861 Slocum

was vainly importuning the Governor of his State for a commission as cap- 
tain of artillery. A year later he' rode at the head of one of the finest di- 
visions in the Army of the Potomac. 

. ' . . For conspicuous services rendered by him at Gaines' Mill and 
in the movement to the James, he was promoted to Major-General. . . . 

But it was in the Maryland campaign, which soon followed, that Slocum 
achieved his greatest success as a division general. . . . 

General Franklin finding that he could not use artillery with advantage 
determined to carry the position by an infantry assault. For this purpose he 
selected Slocum's Division, the Second Division — Smith's — being held in re- 
serve. Franklin says in his report that the advance of General Slocum was 
made with admirable steadiness through a well-delivered fire from the bat- 
teries on the [South] Mountain. The line of battle formed, a charge was 
ordered. The men swept forward with a cheer, over the stone wall, dis- 
lodging the enemy and pursuing him up the mountain side to the crest of 
the hill and down the opposite slope. This single charge, sustained as it 
was over a great distance and up a rough ascent of unusual steepness, was 
decisive. The Confederates were driven in the utmost confusion, and al- 
lowed no opportunity to rally until the pass was cleared. Slocum was a con- 
spicuous figure in the charge, his soldierly bearing and fearless exposure 
of his person to the enemy's fire winning enthusiastic praise from the troops 
who fought by his side. 

At the Battle of Chancellorsville, as on other fields, Slocum displayed 
military genius of a high order, and his troops made another record as a 
steady, hard fighting corps. 

An incident at this time came under the writer's [Colonel William F. Fox's] 
observation which was characteristic of the General's methods in handling 
troops on the field. When Williams' Division was ordered out of its breast- 
works to the support of General Sickles during the reconnoissance made by 
the latter on the second day, a regiment of Ruger's Brigade was delayed at 
the passage of a small stream. Owing to this hindrance it fell considerably 
behind the rest of the brigade, and its colonel, anxious to close up, gave the 
order to double-quick. The regiment moved forward at a rapid pace, the 
accoutrements and cooking utensils carried by the men keeping up a rattling, 
jingling accompaniment. Suddenly the rapid hoofbeats of a horse under the 
spur were heard, and the rider wheeled short in front of the column. It 
was Slocum, and his eyes shone with anger or excitement. "Colonel, halt your 
regiment!" he shouted. Then leaning over the side of his saddle he said, 
in low, earnest tones : "Colonel, you must not take your regiment into action 
on the run. I don't want these men to go into the fight tired and out of 
breath. Let them walk. There is no need of all this hurry-" With a severe 
look he regarded the breathless soldiers for a moment, wheeled his horse 
suddenly and was gone. A trifling incident, perhaps; but it illustrates the 

(26) 



386 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA 

personal attention which Slocum gave to details when putting his troops 
in action. 

At Gettysburg, the greatest battle of the war, General Slocum occupied 
a prominent position by reason of the important duties assigned him by the 
General commanding. As the senior General in the Army of the Potomac 

he was in command of the Right Wing 

In one of the earlier histories of this battle a writer says that 
Slocum was dilatory in coming on the field. The gross misrepresentation of 
certain facts and evident ignorance of other important ones would require 
no mention here were it not that this untruth, at one time, was accepted and 
repeated to some extent. ........... 

General Meade arrived on the battlefield before daybreak on the morn- 
ing of July second, the second day of the battle. Addressing himself im- 
mediately to the situation he planned an attack, to be made by his right wing 
against rfhe enemy's left. For this purpose he placed the Fifth and Twelfth 
Corps under command of General Slocum, with the Sixth Corps as a sup- 
porting column. The latter was expected to arrive at Gettysburg in time 
for the proposed movement. But General Slocum, however much he might 
have been pleased by such recognition of his military ability, did not allow 
any feeling of pride in this flattering selection of himself to interfere with 
his judgment in the matter. After carefully reconnoitering the position of 
the enemy in his front and the topographical difficulties presented by the in- 
tervening ground, he reported to General Meade that the proposed attack 
was not practicable. General Warren, chief engineer of Meade's staff, con- 
curred in this opinion. The attack was abandoned, and these troops were 
saved from what, in all probability, would have been a defeat, with a terri- 
ble loss of life. The plan afforded Slocum a tempting opportunity to dis- 
tinguish himself, but he possessed moral as well as physical courage. 

When Slocum received the order to abandon Gulp's Hill he informed 
Meade that he had just received word from both Williams and Geary, his 
division generals, that the enemy was in their front in strong force. He 
urgently requested that a division be left to guard the line held by the 
Twelfth Corps, but General Meade would consent to leave but a brigajle 
to defend the position* [Although Meade had more troops massed on his 
left than he could put into action]. 

Slocum's insistence that some troops should be left to hold Gulp's Hill 
was extremely fortunate. Had he not done so Meade's army would soon 
have been overwiielmed in an irretrievable disaster. 

[Confederate General Johnson advanced, drove back the meagre 
force left at Gulp's Hill and, had they advanced a short distance further 
that evening they could have seized Meade's headquarters also]. Johnson 
was heavily reinforced during the night, but when morning came his op- 

*See Address of General Slocum at the Revmion of Greene's Brigade at

AND THEIR ALLIANCES 387 

portunity was gone. At midnight the Twelfth Corps returned and, finding 
their breastworks occupied [by the enemy], went into position covering the 
line of the Baltimore Pike. Slocum gave orders to attack at daybreak, and 
in a few hours, after some of the most brilliant fighting in the war, the 
Twelfth Corps recaptured their works and drove Johnson's forces across 
Rock Creek. The Union right was secure again.* 

[At the close of the fighting of this day came the council of war, and 
General Slocum's terse "Stay and Fight it Out" advice which, being accepted, 
again settled favorably the fate of Gettysburg]. t 

In April, 1864, General Slocum was assigned to the command of the District 
of Vicksburg. . . The position thus assigned was befitting his rank 
and record. As a military command it was an important one, for it em- 
braced bodies of troops outnumbering those of an ordinary army corps. 
Futhermore, as it included a territory wrested from the enemy, it imposed 
duties of a grave responsibility in the management of a dissatisfied people 
and the adjustment of the various civil questions incident to such a condi- 
tion. The Government had selected him for this trying position, relying 
on his superior judgment and administrative ability which, as well as his 
brilliant record in the field, had won for him the confidence of the War 
Department. 

But, in the exercise of his authority, Slocum had to contend with compli- 
cations and annoyances that were extremely distasteful to him as a soldier. 
There were other generals at this time on the Mississippi who held terri- 
torial commands, and Slocum was annoyed repeatedly by orders from these 
officers, all of them juniors in rank, instructing him to detach large bodies 
of troops for purposes regarding which he had little or no knowledge. But 
he stood stoutly on his rights and refused these requests, especially as they 
would have crippled his own command and prevented him from sending 
the expeditions into the enemy's country which he had been commanded to 
make. 

General Sherman, also, misled by false information, wrote Slocum in re- 
gard to a certain matter, notifying him that if it was not attended to "you 
need not expect military favors from General Grant or myself!" But Slocum 
was the last man to shape his line of action by expected favors, and in his 
answer to Sherman said: "Without any particular desire to secure favors 
from yourself or any other person, I shall continue faithful in the discharge 
of my duty which, I think, you readily perceive a very disagreeable and

Brooklyn, April 29, 1894, in which he said: . . . Slocum's resolute in- 
sistence upon leaving General Greene and his brigade, when General Meade 
directed that the whole Twelfth Corps be sent to his left, — this insistence 
followed by Greene's marvelous night battle, and Slocum's organized work 
and engagement of the ensuing early morning, in my judgment, saved the 
Battle of Gettysburg

388 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA 

difficult one when 3011 compare the different orders issued to me by General 
Canby with those issued by yourself." Sherman, finding that his source 
of information " the Atlanta paper of the 25th" was not to be relied on 
wrote Slocum an explanatory and somewhat apologetic letter which closed 
the incident.* 

But Slocum was needed at the front again. He was appointed to the com- 
mand of the Twentieth Corps, then on the Atlanta Campaign; turned over 
his duties at Vicksburg August 14, 1864, closed his affairs there, and hastened 
to join Sherman's army. 

Slocum arrived at the camps of the Twentieth Corps August 27th, 
his appearance being greeted with enthusiastic cheers. The Gettysburg and 
Chancellorsville veterans were especially prominent in this demonstration, 
as they rejoiced greatly at the prospect of serving under their old commander 
again. 

General Slocum was the first to enter and take possession of Atlanta. 
Here he remained over two months, being occupied with provost duties and 
in organizing expeditions into the country for gathering supplies for his 
command. . . Preparations were made for the movement through 
Georgia to Savannah. For this purpose the army was divided into two separate 
commands, designated respectively the Right and Left Wing. The former, 
composed of the Army of the Tennessee, was placed under General Howard; 
the latter, made up of two Corps from the Army of the Cumberland — Four- 
teenth and Twentieth — was assigned to General Slocum. 

The March to the Sea began November 15th. One week before, he wrote 
a letter to his family describing some of the scenes of preparation and other, 
closing as follows: "I wish for humanity's sake that this sad war could 
be brought to a close. While laboring to make it successful, I shall do 
all in my power to mitigate its horrors." 

General Slocum held now the highest command in his military career, 
that of a separate army [The Army of Georgia]. The able manner in 
which he conducted his forces justified his selection for this responsible po- 
sition. 

At Savannah, Hardee had one avenue of escape — across the Savannah 
River to the North. As the left of Slocum's Army rested on the river, he 
made a demonstration against this one line by which the enemy might re- 
treat, and had he secured his desired permission he would have placed a 
strong body of troops across it. But Sherman had a different arrangemeiit 
in mind, and went to Beaufort to secure the co-operation of some troops 
for his purpose. During his absence Hardee, alarmed by the threatening 
movement of one of Slocum's brigades towards his rear, evacuated the city, 
and withdrew his forces in safety. Crossing the river, he reached a cause- 
way through a swamp, his one and only way of escape. Had Slocum's sug- 

*General Slocum's orders during his command of the District of Vicks- 
burg are of historical value. 



AND THEIR ALLIANCES 389 

gestion been adopted, the entire garrison would have been compelled to 
surrender within a short time. Upon the evacuation a division of Slocum's 
Twentieth Corps was the first to enter the City, and to these troops was ac- 
corded the privilege of remaining there on Provost duty, as at Atlanta, while 
the army lay outside the town. 

In January, 1865, Sherman's two armies started northward on the cam- 
paign of the Carolinas, with the ultimate intention of joining the Army of 
the Potomac at Petersburg, or co-operating with it. This campaign was 
the most remarkable one in the history of the War for its duration, the num- 
ber of miles marched, and the hardships encountered by the soldiers. It 
was undertaken at the most inclement season of the year in that climate. 

Though the pontoon trains were sufficient for bridging any stream 
on the line of march, they were useless in the wide areas of flooded low- 
lands. The soldiers were obliged to wade repeatedly through long stretches 
of deep and chilling water, often exposed to the gun fire of the enemy. 

In passing through North Corolina, Slocum, yet in command of the Left 
Wing, encountered Hardee's forces near Averasborough. An engagement, 
one of the minor battles of the War, ensued, in which Slocum defeated Har- 
dee handsomely and drove him from the field. Three days later, Gen. Jos. E. 
Johnston, having united and intrenched his scattered forces, attacked Slocum 
at Bentonville. The Confederate leader, having over 20,000 veterans un- 
der his command, hoped that by a sudden dash upon the Left Wing he 
could defeat that Army before it could receive assistance from the Right 
Wing, then many miles distant. But Slocum, wary and cautious, quickly 
divined the intention of his antagonist. Recalling his advance and bringing 
forward his divisions in the rear, he drew his forces into position quickly 
and repulsed Johnston's fierce onslaught. When night came he was still 
in possession of the field. The next day he was reinforced by troops sent 
to his support by General Howard. There was some desultory fighting, 
and then Johnston retreated to Raleigh. Another victory was added to 
Slocum's record. 

The careful, methodical action which always characterized Slocum's move- 
ments when about to encounter the enemy in force was well displayed at 
Bentonville. When the General found that a battle was imminent he halted 
until he could bring up all his available forces, and in the meantime as- 
certain the position of the enemy. General Kilpatrick, who was in command 
of the cavalry, urged Slocum strongly to make a bold dash and clear the 
Confederates out of the way as he (Slocum) had done at Averasborough. 
Had he done so he would have invited a serious disaster. But rejecting the 
advice thus offered he said, significantly: "General Kilpatrick, I don't pro- 
pose to advance farther until I know just what is on my flanks." The 
doughty cavalryman looked thoughtful for a moment, and then hurried away 
to obtain this highly important information. 

Hon. Joseph B. Foraker, United States Senator from Ohio, who was a 
member of Slocum's staff on this Campaign, says that Major Moseley, also 
of the staff, suggested to Slocum that he should order the advance division 



3gO THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA 

to charge the enemy and clear the road ; that there could not possibly be 
a very strong force in front; that if the General waited for his other forces 
to come up a whole day would be lost, and that if it should turn out that 
there was nothing in front to justify such caution it would injure the prestige 
of the Left Wing. Slocum replied earnestly: "I can afford to be charged 
with being dilatory or over cautious, but I cannot afford the responsibility 
of a Ball's Bluff affair."* 



*See Battles and Leaders of the Civil JVar, Volume IV, p. 693, New York: 
The Century Co., 1888. 

Also see The Atlantic Monthly, September, 1882, pages 389-400, wherein 
Gen. Alexander C. McClurg, who was in Gen. Slocum's command, under 
the heading 'The Last Chance of the Confederacy' ably wrote of the Battle 
of Bentonville, and the Union forces which there fought the last significant 
battle of the war and won a signal victory. It reads in part as follows: 

The inhospitable rains of the South had poured down incessantly 
and unfriendly mud had met us in every road. Layer after layer of corduroy 
had disappeared in the ooze, as each hundred of our heavy wagons passed 
over them. The streams, faithful to their States, had risen into torrents, 
and swept away our pontoon bridges. Supplies were few, and shoes and 
hats and coats had been worn out and lost. The pride and pomp and cir- 
cumstance of glorious war had disappeared, and the whole command was 
ragged and tattered. Here a Confederate coat and there a Confederate 
hat did duty on a Federal back and head, while many a valiant Union 
warrior went hatless and shoeless. But a hardier and knottier lot of men 
never carried musket or helped a wagon out of the mire. Years of hard- 
ship and exposure and fighting had sifted out the weak and the sickly, and 
nothing but the toughest material was left. The deeper the mud and the 
harder the march, the jollier they were; and a heavier rain pouring down 
on them as they went into camp, or a wetter swamp than usual to lie down 
in, only brought out a louder volley of jokes. An army of military Mark 
Tapleys [See Dickens' 'Martin Chuzzlewit'], they strode onward, uncom- 
plaining and jolly under the most difficult circumstances possible. 

General Sherman supposed 'all danger was over' [See his Me- 
moir s'\. 

For once General Sherman had reckoned without his host, and that host 
was Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, whose hospitalities Gen. Sherman had known 
and respected the year before, in all the long campaign from Chattanooga 
to Atlanta. The Confederate president had but recently recalled Gen. John- 
ston from undeserved retirement and placed him in command of all the 
Confederate troops in that region, with instructions to "concentrate all avail- 
able forces, and drive back Sherman." . . The event proved that when 
Gen. Sherman supposed 'all danger over' these forces had been, unknown 
to him, well concentrated on his left flank and front, and within striking 
distance. Once more these two foemen, well worthy of each other's steel, 
were to try conclusions; and this time with the odds largely in favor of 
the Confederate chieftain. 

CJeneral Sherman's army [two armies, called Right and Left Wing] con- 
sisted of between fifty-seven and fifty-eight thousand men, not seventy thou- 
sand as Gen. Johnston states in his narrative. On the morning of 19 March, 
this force was situated as follows: two divisions of the Fourteenth Army 
Corps, mustering a little over eight thousand men, and constituting the ad- 
vance of the Left Wing, were near Bentonville on the direct road from 
Averasboro to Goldsboro. Two divisions of the Twentieth Corps, also about 
eight thousand men, had encamped eight miles in the rear of the advance 
divisions on the same road — a terrible stretch of almost impassable mire lying

To General Slocum's credit, it should be said that he did what he could 
to maintain a proper state of discipline in his own command. Major William G. 
Tracy, of his staff, states that "during the March to the Sea, and northward, 
so far as was in his power. General Slocum endeavored to restrain unneces- 

^ ■ ■■- ■■■-■—.. _■■-_ ■ 

between the two commands. The two remaining divisions of these Corps 
were escorting and guarding the supply trains, some miles further to the 
south and rear. The Right Wing was similarly scattered on roads lying 
five to ten miles south of , the road on which the Left Wing was advancing. 
Gen. Sherman had been marching for several days with the Left and 
exposed Wing, and on the night of the i8th [March, 1865] his headquarters, 
as well as those of Gen. Slocum, who commanded the Left Wing, had been 
pitched within the lines of the Fourteenth Army Corps. On the morning of 
the iptli he had determined to ride southward to the Right Wing composed 
of the Fifteenth and Seventeenth Corps, and push them on rapidly in ad- 
vance to Goldsboro. He did not leave, however, until after the leading 
division had moved out and at perhaps half past seven o'clock he and Gen. 
Slocum, with Gen. Jefferson C. Davis commanding the Fourteenth Corps, 
sat together upon their horses at the cross-roads, listening to the signs of 
opposition which already came up from the front. Something impressed the 
soldierly instinct of Gen. Davis with the belief that he was likely to en- 
counter more than the usual cavalry opposition, and he said as much to 
Gen. Sherman. The latter, after listening attentively a moment or two, re- 
plied in his usual brisk, nervous, and positive way: "No, Jeff; there is 
nothing there but Dibbrell's cavalry. Brush them out of the way. Good 
morning. I'll meet you to-morrow morning at Cox's Bridge." And away he 
rode, with his slender staff, to join Howard and the Right Wing. It proved 
that three days yet lay between us and Cox's Bridge. .... 

also that two divisions and a brigade, with a batteryof artillery 
— in all, less than ten thousand men of Gen. Sherman's Army — were face 
to face with an overwhelming force of the enemy (somewhere between 
twenty-five and forty thousand men) who had chosen their own ground, 
strengthened it with field-works, and placed their artillery in position. Con- 
fident and prepared (to crush the Union army a division at a time) they 
awaited the order to advance, while we were deceived and surprised. 

Their cavalry in front were stubborn. . . Even the 
organized parties of foragers, the historical 'bummers' of Sherman's army, men 
who generally made short work of getting through a thin curtain of cavalry, 
when chickens and pigs and corn and sweet potatoes were on the other side — 
even these renowned troopers fell back, dispirited, behind our skirmishers, 
and lined the roadsides. ........... 

but General Slocum went energetically to work to prepare for 
the most vigorous defensive fighting possible. Every precaution was taken 
and the men all along our line were in the act of throwing up hasty field- 
works when the attack came upon us like a whirlwind. . . . _ 

Attack after attack was gallantly met and repulsed. 
North Carolina and Virginia colors were captured . . . our troops 
fought behind and in front of their hastily built and frail breastworks 

there were not men enough to support them on the left 

they were there attacked in the rear . . . wheeled 
and fought both ways . . . and held their ground 
and the golden opportunity of the enemy upon our left was lost. 

Considering the great disaster which was imminent, and which was 
averted, it is not too much to claim for the Battle of Bentonville by Gen. 
Slocum's command, that it was one of the most decisive of the lesser battles 
of the war. 



392 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA 

sary pillage and injury to the inhabitants of the country, but never received 
the credit due for such efforts, for he liad but scant sympathy in that regard 
from his superior officer."* 

General Slocum's Army was disbanded and most of its regiments 
mustered out of service at the close of the Civil War. His farewell 
to his men who had so nobly answered to his commands, is embraced 
in his General Orders, No. 15, dated at Washington, D. C, June 
6, 1865. In his Life of General Slocurn Colonel Fox continues: 

After a brief leave of absence he returned to Vicicsburg where he assumed 
command of the military Department of the Mississippi. Here he exercised his 
administrative ability in alleviating so far as possible the unhappy condi- 
tions incidental to a long and terrible war, the effects of which had been 
especially disastrous to the people in that district. Under his able guidance 
a peaceful condition of affairs was soon restored and business was resumed in 
all its various branches. 

But the position and its duties were in too strong a contrast with his 
four years of active life in the field. The routine at Vicksburg became irk- 
some and burdensome in the extreme. An intense longing for home and the 
attractions of civil life possessed him. He had defended his country well 
in its time of trial, and now that there was no further need of his services 
he felt at liberty to resign his commission [He resigned September 28, 1865]. 

A position in the Regular Army suitable to his previous rank and record was 
tendered by the Government, but he declined the honor, expressing his high ap- 
preciation of this further recognition of his services. After a brief stay 
at Syracuse, N. Y., his former home, he moved to the City of Brooklyn, where 



Never before, in all the long struggle, had fortune and circumstance so 
united to favor the Confederate Gen. Johnston, and never before had hope 
shone so brightly with him . . . but, as the sun went down that 
night, it undoubtedly carried with it, in the mind of Gen. Johnston at least, 
the last hopes of the Southern Confederacy. 

In the battle of the first day, out of ten thousand men actually 
engaged on our side, we lost during the afternoon 1,200; and Gen. Johnston, 
in his narrative, admits a loss on his side of 1,915. In all the fighting of 
the next two days, we lost in our whole army a little over 400 men; and 
Johnston states his loss at 428. These figures easily show when the severe 
fighting was done. . . . It is due to the gallant troops who so 
heroically did their duty in that deadly breach, and to the commanding 
officers — to Henry W. Slocum, to Jefferson C. Davis, to Morgan and Carlin, 
and their brigade commanders — whose cool judgment and quick intelligence 
aided to contluct tlie fight to so fortunate an end, that the truth about the 
Battle of Bentonville, as about all other battles, should be told; as it has 
not been toKi lieretofore about the former.

he soon became connected with business enterprises of an extensive charac- 
ter. 

Although he had no aspirations for a political life and made no efforts 
to promote his interests in this direction, political honors were conferred upon 
him. In 1868 his name was placed on the State ticket as a Presidential 
Elector; and the next year he was sent to the U. S. Congress from a Brook- 
lyn district. He was re-elected in 1870; and in 1883 was elected Congress- 
man-at-Large from the State of New York by a flattering majority. In 
the discharge of his duties at the National Capitol he paid little attention to 
the details of petty legislation, but was always prominently identified with 
measures relating to the army, the welfare of the veterans, and the various 
questions arising from conditions engendered by the Civil War. He took ac- 
tive part in securing the passage of the bill granting a second court of inquiry 
in the case of Gen. Fitz John Porter, which resulted in the reinstatement 
of that officer in the Regular Army with his former rank and position. In 
this generous action he had the concurrence of General Grant and, also, 
the approval of every thoughtful student of history. . . ... 

General Slocum served three terms in Congress and then, find- 
ing that his private business required his entire time and attention, he de- 
clined renomination. 

In every enterprise entrusted to his management he displayed an ad- 
ministrative ability which won the confidence and respect of the entire 
business community within which he operated. His success as an executive 
officer was demonstrated in the development of the 'Crosstown' surface 
railroad system which, under his management became the most profitable 
line in the city. He was a large stockholder in other lines, and was Presi- 
dent of the Brooklyn and Coney Island Railroad Company 

Among other investments which occupied his attention, he was Director 
in the People's Trust Company, The Williamsburg City Fire Insurance 
Company, the Hecker-Jones-Jewell Milling Company, and the Coombs, Crosby 
and Eddy Company. 

He served also until his death as a member of the New York State Monu- 
ments Commission for the Battlefield of Gettysburg He was a 

member of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion, and held for one term 
the highest office in the Commandery of New York. . . . Also took promi- 
nent interest in the Brooklyn Club. 

He served on the Brooklyn Board of Education, and said to his 
friends "a man can do more good in helping the children to be taught well 
than he can in commanding an army." .... 

[He remembered the children in his will; directing that $5,000 be paid 
to the Children's Aid Society of Brooklyn, and $5,000 to the Brooklyn Society 
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children]. 

[He was one of the Trustees of the first New York and Brooklyn Bridge, 
and active in other local and general enterprises]. 

Upon the news of his death the House of Representatives at Washington 



394 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA 

passed resolutions expressing profound regret, and an acknowledgment of the 
loss which the Nation had sustained. Both the Senate and Assembly at 
Albany passed similar resolutions, and adjourned as a token of respect, 
the lower house having appointed a committee to attend the funeral. The 
Common Council of the City of Brooklyn took appropriate action, and or- 
dered that business in the public buildings be suspended on the day of the 
funeral. The Military Order of the Loyal Legion issued an obituary pamph- 
let, and many Posts in the Grand Army of the Republic — some of them in 
other States — passed resolutions testifying to the loss which the veterans of 
the war had sustained in the death of their friend and advocate. 

The funeral was held at the Church of the Messiah, where the exercises 
were conducted in accordance with the solemn ritual of the Episcopal service. 
On the conclusion of the ceremonies in the Church, the remains were placed 
on a gun-carriage and, covered by the flag he so well defended, were es- 
corted to Greenwood Cemetery by a large body of troops from the Regular 
Army and National Guard, under command of Col. Loomis L. Langdon, 
First United States Artillery. The imposing military pageant, with the 
funereal music of the bands, made a deep impression on the silent throngs of 
citizens who lined the route along which the procession moved. At the 
Cemetery four volleys were fired by a battery of artillery, a bugle sounded 
'Taps' and the hero was at rest.

Shortly after the death of Gen. Henry Warner Slocum a move- 
ment was started to erect a monument to his memory in Brooklyn. 
Several meetings were held and were attended by many leading 
citizens. It was decided to have the memorial consist of a massive 
bronze statue, its location to be chosen by the city authorities. It 
was at first intended to raise the funds by popular subscription, but 
this idea was abandoned, and the entire matter was taken in charge 
by the municipality. A law was enacted in 1895 authorizing an 
issue of bonds to erect the statue 'at a cost not to exceed thirty thou- 
sand dollars. Frederick MacMonnies, the sculptor, born in Brook- 
lyn and having a studio in Paris, was commissioned to mold and 
supervise the casting of an equestrian statue. It was completed and 
shipped from France late in 1902; and for some time was stored on 
the East Side Lands pending the construction of the pedestal. This 
work was much delayed. The site of this Monument was located 
by the Department of Parks of the Boroughs of Brooklyn and 
Queens, City of New York, at the intersection of Eastern Parkway 
and Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn ; and its pedestal was there built of 
Maine granite, nineteen feet long and eight feet wide. Its height 
raises the tip of the General's sword twenty-five feet above the pave- 
ment. Bronze chains, artistically wrought, encircle the foundation

from granite posts. The Monument was unveiled with due cere- 
monies Memorial Day, 30 May, 1905, with the following pro- 
gram excepting the music. Invocation by Rt. Rev. Bishop Frederick 
Burgess. Presentation of Statue, Commissioner Michael J. Kennedy. 
Unveiling of Statue by Gertrude Slocum, granddaughter less than 
six j^ears of age. Acceptance of Statue in Behalf of the City, by 
George B. McClellan, Mayor. Address, by Theodore Roosevelt, 
President. Benediction, by Rt. Rev. Bishop Charles E. McDonnell. 

The family of General Henry Warner Slocum, after his death, 
published for private distribution some of the many tributes to his 
memory, in an octavo volume of 126 pages. It includes addresses 
by Rev. R. S. Storrs, D. D., Maj.-Gen. O. O. Howard, U. S. A., 
Major W. G. Tracy, of his army staff, and Gen. Stewart L. Wood- 
ford; Editorials of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, The Brooklyn Stand- 
ard-Union, and The Brooklyn Citizen; Resolutions of the U. S. 
Congress; of The Legislature of The State of New York, both 
Houses; of The Common Council of the City of Brooklyn; of the 
Board of Supervisors of Kings County, New York; of the various 
companies, orders and institutions of which he had been a member; 
also resolutions of various Posts of The Grand Army of The Re- 
public, Military Associations, etc., of New York and other States. 

It has been the custom for many years, but probably to a greater 
degree latterly than formerly, to give the name of a prominent man 
to children and to objects, either in honor of the man whose 
name is so used or to honor the person or object so named. This 
has been the case with the name of General Slocum. Probably the 
most enduring object named in his honor, is Fort Slocum, a strong 
fortification on an island at the western part of Long Island Sound, 
southward from New Rochelle, New York, and guarding the ap- 
proach to New York City by the eastern end of East River or 
Strait. A large and elegant pleasure excursion steamboat named 
General Slocum was very popular about the harbor of New York 
City for several years, then was accidentally burned near North 
Brother Island, East River, with great loss of life 15 June, 1904. 
A Free Kindergarten was established in Brooklyn in 1894 ^"d 
named the Slocum Kindergarten in honor of the man who did so 
much for the children. A large United States ship for transport- 
ing soldiers and army supplies during the Spanish War and since 
bears the name Slocum. Also the large, strong United States Army 



396 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA 

Tug Slocum did good service i8 April, 1906, in taking the battalion 
of the 22nd Infantry, U. S. A., from Fort McDowell, Angel Island, 
to San Francisco to support the civil authorities and aid the earth- 
quake sufferers; also in policing the wharf line. The 23 November, 
1906, this U. S. A. Tug Slocum brought the disabled U. S. Trans- 
port Sheridan into San Francisco Harbor from the rocks of Barber's 
Point, Hawaiian Islands — ^which service brings to mind the saving 
of the youth Sheridan for his brilliant career in the U. S. Army during 
the Civil War, by the youth Slocum aiding him to make his necessary 
grade while they were both cadets at West Point.

Rev. William Frederick" Slocum {Williain F.^ Oliver E.~ 
Eleazer,^' David;' Ehenezer,^ Eleazer;' Giles," Anthony,^) was born 
29 July, 1 85 1, in Grafton, Massachusetts. Was educated in the 
Public Schools; Amherst College where he was graduated A. B. in 
1874; in Germany; and in Andover Theological Seminary where he

and 'Workers' in Outlook of March 17, 1904. 

He was pastor of the Union Congregational Church at Salisbury, 
Mass., until January, 1883, when he accepted call to the pastorate 
of the First Congregational Church, Baltimore, Maryland. Here 
he had a wider field for usefulness in religious, social and literary

economy at the Johns Hopkins University. 



AND THEIR ALLIANCES 407 

In 1888 he was unanimously elected President of Colorado Col- 
lege, and was inaugurated 28 March, 1889. Under his guidance 
this college has prospered ; in large increase of endowment, in num- 
ber of buildings, in increase of students, and in the range and quality 
of requirements. In addition to the arduous work of the presidency 
in this development, he has given instruction in ethics, psychology 
and general philosophy. 

From Colorado Springs President Slocum also did good work for 
the State of Colorado, serving five years as President and Organizer 
of the State Board of Charities and Corrections, for which work his 
sociological studies well fitted him. He took active interest in the 
labor question. At the time of the miners' strike at Cripple Creek 
he visited the scene of the difficulty and, as a result of his personal 
appeal to the leaders, they opened negotiations with the mine owners 
and arbitration was finally secured. He also served on the Colorado 
State Board of Pardons. He declined candidacy for Governor on 
the Republican ticket when election was sure. 

In 1893 Amherst College conferred on him the degree of LL. D., 
as did the University of Nebraska in 1894. 

The 21 June, 1897, the Trustees of Oberlin College unanimously 
offered him the Presidency of that old and strong institution; but 
he felt impelled to continue his work so well advanced at Colorado 
College, and he declined the tempting offer. 

At the International Congress of Arts and Science, St. Louis, 
September 19-25, 1904, in the Department of Education, he was 
Chairman of the Section on the College. 

Early in 1906 he was chosen member of the Board of the Car- 
negie Foundation for the Advancement* of Teaching, in succession to 
the late President Harper of Chicago University. 

The prominent newspapers have commended and published many 
of his sermons delivered in the pulpit; also his lectures and writings 
on educational subjects. Also his various articles on educational, 
sociological and ethical themes, have been published in different lead- 
ing periodicals. 

It is said of President Slocum, that "in all moral questions his 
loyalty to truth is uncompromising, while his Quaker heritage is 
plainly discernible in his calmness and evenness of mind and in his 
cheerful, kindly nature." The following is excerpted from his in- 
augural address at Colorado College: 



408 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA 

Nothing is of more far-reaching importance than the training of the soul; 
the unfolding under healthful discipline of the latent powers which the Creator 
has implanted within it. . . True education must ever seek to pro- 
duce the perfect man by processes which the eternal wisdom has shown to be 
wise; it must seek to fit the individual for his place in life, 
whatever that may be, to rightly equip, with heart and mind 

turned steadfastly toward the true and the good 

All education worthy of the name, must ever seek to so broaden the mental 
horizon that narrow prejudice and weak conceptions of right are driven from 
the soul, while it also produces that accuracy of mental habit which secures 
trustworthiness of judgment and feeling. . . The American college 
should be a mental and moral gymnasium; the place where well prepared 
students gain intellectual and ethical vigor; where they apply themselves 
to a wholesome and rigid course of mental training. Strong, sound, vigorous 
training makes strong, sound vigorous men and women. To secure this 
end there must be thorough courses of study. . . . The 
shallow and superficial course of study makes shallow and superficial 
character. ... To learn that "whosoever disbelieves in 
science disbelieves in God;" that the indisputable discoveries of 
modern investigation have only broadened our religious position and 
strengthened it; that only the reverent soul knows the deepest truths 
of philosophy— this may and ought to be accomplished in the Col- 
lege, . . . The Christian College ought to have the liberty 
and persistence . . . to so guide and unfold the young soul that 
neither the fallacies of a false philosophy, the important discoveries in science, 
nor the broadening interpretations of religious truth shall in after years drive 
the student from the peace and usefulness of a deep religious faith. 

President Slocum is member of the University Club, Denver, and 
of the Tavern Club, Boston, Mass. He gives close attention to 
his duties as President of Colorado College, 'the Yale of the West' 
at Colorado Springs, Colorado, where he resides in 1907. No 
children reported.

Ella Bourne® Slocum {John F.,^ Benjamin T./ Abel,° Sam- 
uel/ Samuel/ Ebenezer/ Giles/ Anthony/) was born 5 May, 1847, 
at Fall River, Massachusetts, and was reared from the age of six- 
teen years in Chicago, 111. She was educated in the Public Schools 
and in a New England boarding school. She inherited a remarkably 
good singing voice, and it was cultivated in the United States, Ger- 
many and France, latterly with Adelina Patti's teacher. Managers 
of opera made offers for her engagement but, deferring to the ad- 
vice of her immediate friends, they were declined. 

She was married 18 June, 1867, in Chicago to George Mason of 
Scotland. This marriage was unfortunate, and it became necessary 
for her to procure a divorce. 

She married second in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 21 September, 1880, 
the Baron Ernest von Jeinsen, of Hanover, Germany. This union 
was a happy one. While their home was at the Baron's estate in 
Germany, they traveled extensively. He died at Mamaroneck, New 
York, 17 March, 1889. 

She was married third 8 June, 1892, to Sir Franklin Simmons, of 
Leicester, Maine, a noted sculptor residing in Rome, Italy, where 
he had a studio many years. Some of his marbles are in the Capitol 
at Washington; in Providence, R. I.; Portland, Me.; Detroit, 
Mich., and other public galleries; also in private collections here 
and abroad. His equestrian statue of General John A. Logan, in 
Hancock Circle, Washington, is not only the largest bronze, but 
many think it his best work. 

He was knighted Chevalier by the King of Italy. He is Dean 
of the American Colony in Rome, and their regular social sessions, 
and dinners, were looked forward to with much pleasurable antici- 
pation by their many friends, American and European. 

Mrs. Simmons was not only highly accomplished in music, but in 
art, painting, and language, being fluently versed in several tongues. 



414 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA 

She died 22 December, 1905, at their home in Rome. This was a 
severe shock to her family and numerous friends, conversant with 
her high attainments and admirable character. Her remains were 
laid at rest in Rome, and a statue entitled The Guardian Angel, is 
assuming beautiful form under the skilful touch of her husband, to 
adorn and guard the place. Child, by first marriage:

Giles Bryan'' Slocum {Jeremiah,^ Giles,'' Jonathan,^ Joseph,^ 
Giles,* Samuel,^ Giles,- Antlwny,^) was born il July, 1808, in Sara- 
toga Tp., Saratoga Co., New York, He went to northwestern Ohio 
in 183 1, and found much to do, in wharf building and in trade, at 
the new settlement of Vistula on the site of the present Toledo. 
He was called home by the death of his father i.i 1832; but, as 
soon as practicable the next year he returned to the western 
shores of Lake Erie where he had discovered so many opportunities 
for his energy. He soon became engaged in the working up of the 
great growths of timber, dealing in supplies and in buying land. See 
Volume I. 

But few years past before he was a large land and sheep owner ; 
with other profitable enterprises ever awaiting time that was not 
fully taken with the work and business in hand. His methods of 
business from the first were most commendable ; always to keep what- 
ever he undertook well in hand and never to permit anything to 
suffer for want of due attention. The leading principle of his busi- 
ness life was to do his business exclusively on his own capital. He 
never gave a mortgage, never gave a note; what he could not do with 
his own means was left undone; and furthermore, complaint was 
never made that he dealt unjustly by any man. 



4l6 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA 

He took active interest in politics, but did not want office. Was 
a member of the first Republican State Convention held in Jackson, 
Michigan, in 1854. He was active and influential in the construction 
of railroads, and every other enterprise for the development of his 
State and Nation. 

In 1838 he married Sophia Maria Brigham Truax, who (1906) 
survives. See Volume I. Mr. Slocum died 27 January, 1884, at 
his home on Slocum Island, Detroit River, near Trenton, Michi- 
gan. Was buried in Elmwood Cemetery, Detroit. The newspapers, 
in extended obituaries, wrote of him as the most widely and favor- 
ably known man in the State ; and they might have added, one of 
the w^ealthiest. Children:

• •••••••••••« , 

Perhaps no citizen of this borough was better known and more generally 
respected than James Slocum ... .he was pleased when he could have 
an argument with a young man of his liking. This was a peculiar trait of 
his character. He was a great reader, a deep thinker, and had an excellent 
memory. No man in this vicinitj' gave closer attention to historical reminis- 
cences, and he possessed an excellent library of this class of works 

His whole aim in life was to be at the best of everything. ... He was 
reared as a Quaker and like those people, ever had a fondness for plainness; 
was of reserved disposition, and in a public way declined to allow his name 
to be used conspicuously In politics he was an ardent Republican. 

• • . • a strong abolitionist. . . . Was always ready and willing to 
enter into any enterprise that would prove beneficial to his town. He was 
one of the original stockowners in the Second National Bank, and in the 
Redstone Cemetery, where his remains were laid. . . . 

His attachment to the church, of which he was a liberal supporter, and 
his strong convictions of the Scriptural basis of the Prebsyterian faith, were 
well known. His forty years of business life in Brownsville, and his eighty 
years of residence on earth, have been a tower of strength for all that which 
is good and noble in society — a bulwark of defense against that which made 
for evil 

There has not been in this neighborhood any one life superior for good, 
if indeed equal in influence to that of James Slocum. — From obituaries in

lows: Benjamin F.," Isaac,' Jacob," Isaac," Garret,* Isaac,' Kryn 
Jansen,' Jans Gysbertstin' van Meteren, who came from Hol- 
land in 1662.* Everett L. was educated at Central University, 
Richmond, Ky., and the University of Virginia. He is a com- 
mission salesman at the Chicago Stock Yards. They passed the 
summer of 1907 in Europe, going as far as Greece and Constanti- 
nople, and returned to their residence in Chicago the latter part 
of September. Mrs. Van Meter is a member of the Presbyterian 
Church. She states the characteristics of Mrs. Bigelow, her 
mother, as follows: "It has ever been her heart's desire to en- 
courage and further every worthy ambition of her children. Her 
filial devotion and early maternal duties narrowed her own 
sphere, and deprived a wider circle of the inspiration of a rare 
personality. Owing to this circumstance, perhaps, or to the 
eager craving of her mind for the highest standards of ex- 
cellence, she embraced every opportunity to secure for me the 
advantages of a university education, supplemented by music and 
by travel to Europe and the Orient. To those nearest to her 
her life is an epic of fine striving and fine achievement. It em- 
bodies all that is best; that is most worth while. Her children 
may in fact call her 'blessed . . . who openeth her mouth 
with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.'"

Dr. John Caleb^ Slocum {Caleb fV./ Joseph,'' Eleazer,^ Johnf' 
Eleazer,^ Eleazer,^ Giles,- Anthony,^). "At ID P. M. Thursday, II 
November, 1897, at the family residence below Orlando, Florida, 
after a long illness which wrecked both mind and body. Dr. John C. 
Slocum died of exhaustion resulting from general debility. . . . 
The deceased leaves a wife and many friends, but no children, to 
mourn his death. 

"Doctor Slocum came to Orlando about 1883 from Shelbyville, 
Indiana, and settled south of the city, where he and his wife built a 
good lakeside home and where they have lived quietly ever since save 
the four years of President Harrison's administration, 1889-93, dur- 
ing which he was United States Surveyor General of Florida, when 
they lived in Tallahassee. 

"The deceased was a gentleman of the old school, highly educated, 
prepossessing in appearance and manner, polished, courteous and kind, 
and one who won friends from every walk of life. For many years 
he was a consistent member of the Presbyterian Church, in which 
faith he lived and died." Orange County Reporter, Orlando, 
Florida. 

His widow, Jennie (Dodds) Slocum, died 9 November, 1907, un- 
expectedly, at the home of her niece in Riverside, Illinois.

Joseph W.° Slocum (Caleb W.,^ Joseph,'' Eleazer^ John^ Elea- 
zer,* Eleazer^ Giles r Anthony,^). "Died on Sunday, November 18, 
1883, at II A. M., at his late residence half way between El Paso 
and Kappa, Illinois, Joseph W* Slocum, in the 52nd year of his 
age. He was born in Fulton County, New York, and in 1857 moved 
to the vicinity of Brimfield, Illinois, where he lived a quiet, unassum- 
ing life as a farmer, respected and liked by all his neghbors and 
friends, until the breaking out of the Southern Rebellion, when, loyal, 
brave and obedient to his country's call, he enlisted and for three 
years served as a common soldier in the 77th Regiment of Illinois 
Volunteers. In 1876 he moved to his late residence, two and a half 
miles south of El Paso. ....... 

♦This W was used in later life to distinguish him from his uncle Joseph 
Slocum. It not being the initial of a name, a period should not be used. He 
died of pleurisy, empyema, with secondary pneumonia, with sickness of three 
and a half months duration.

"In his ever>^day relations with his neighbors, Mr. Slocum was 
singularly quiet and unobstrusive, yet his whole life was an example 
of well-directed energy, force and decision, and by his mildness and 
quietness, his morality and good works, he accomplished more of good 
for the world, for mankind generally, and for his family, than the 
man of great professions could ever do. His life was like a deep 
river which flows strongly yet quietly along. 

"Although far from three score and ten years his life was fairly 
rounded out, and having done his duty as he saw it, he was ready 
when the summons came to join the innumerable caravan." . .

Charlotte May^° Slocum {Eleazer,^ Caleb W.,^ Joseph,' Elea- 
zer,^ John,^ Eleazer,^ Eleazer^ Giles^ Anthony,^) born at Grand 
Rapids, Michigan. Her education began with her mother, an ex- 
perienced school teacher, and was continued in the Public Schools 
of Illinois, completing the higher courses offered at Brimfield. At 
the age of sixteen years she entered the State Normal University, at 
Normal, 111., and after an interrupted course, due to one year of 
teaching and another year of ill health, was there graduated 19 
June, 1894. She had prepared herself specially as a primary teacher, 
the most important in the school work, and during the next five 
years she ably taught primary classes in the Public Schools of Evan- 
ston. III. During one of these summer vacations she accompanied 
her uncle. Dr. Charles Elihu Slocum (with whom she resided during 
much of her illness, and who had been much interested in her educa- 
tion) to Niagara Falls, the Thousand Islands of the St- Lawrence, 
down this river to Montreal and Quebec, thence to the White Moun- 
tains and Boston, where they attended the Fiftieth Anniversary Meet- 
ing of The American Association for the Advancement of Science, with 
excursions in and about Boston from Salem and Concord to Ply- 
mouth ; returning home by way of New York, Philadelphia, Wash- 
ington, etc. 

In September, 1899, she was called, to the regret of the Evanston 
Board of Education, to the Eastern Illinois State Normal School 
(the buildings of which were then just completed at Charleston) as 
Primary Critic in the Training School. This position she held six 
years. In the summer vacation of 1901 she again visited New York 
with her uncle. Doctor Slocum, and attended the Annual Meeting 
of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, in the 
new buildings of Columbia University. During the following sum- 
mer she was employed as teacher in the Summer Schools of the State 
Normal, and as instructor in County Teachers' Institutes, thus teach- 
ing ten weeks some summers; in the summer of 1902 attending the 
Summer School of Harvard University instead. 



426 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA 

During these years she attained high repute throughout the State 
as an educator; was chosen to various offices in The Northern, The 
Eastern, and Ilh'nois State Teachers' Associations, and in the Primary 
Section of the State Association. She was also member of The 
National Teachers' Association; and retains membership in the State 
Boards of the Illinois Congress of Mothers, in which organizations 
she has done much work among mothers which should show for 
good to the children of succeeding generations. She has also done 
good work as member of The Methodist Episcopal Church, and of 
The Young Women's Christian Association. 

Resigning her proud position with the State, she was married I2 
September, 1905, at the home of her mother, and grandfather, Will- 
iam Cowley, near Brimfield, by Rev. Snedeker, to George Cromwell 
Ashman, born ig August, 1869, near Frankfort, Indiana, son of 
George and Mary Ellen (Leslie) Ashman, farmers. He attended 
the Public Schools and, when older, worked on the farm summers. 
In September, 1886, he entered Wabash College, Crawfordsville, Ind. 
After two years study here he taught three terms in the country 
schools near his home. In 1892 he returned to Wabash College, 
and was here graduated B. S. in June, 1895. The next school year 
he also passed here as assistant in chemistry, and doing graduate 
work. In September, 1896, he took a position as teacher of chem- 
istry and physics in The Frankfort, Indiana, High School, continuing 
in this place until December, 1901, when he became Principal of the 
Department of Chemistry in The Bradley Polytechnic Institute, 
Peoria, 111., in affiliation with The University of Chicago, which 
position he now (1907) holds. He has pursued advanced work in The 
University of Chicago during his summer vacations from teaching, 
and was there graduated M. S. in 1905. Wabash College conferred 
the degree of A. M. on him in 1906. His graduate course at the Uni- 
versity of Chicago for the Doctorate of Philosophy is nearly com- 
pleted (1907). He is member of The Indiana Academy of Science, 
The Indiana Association of Science Teachers, The Central Associa- 
tion of Science and Mathematics Teachers and The American Chemi- 
cal Society. 

Prof, and Mrs. Ashman reside in Peoria, 111.

yungest ov a family ov eleven children, and he began life rather porly 
endowd fizikaly, inkluding eyesight, and waz thus, and pekuniarily, 
much handikapt in obtaning an edukashon. He began teching Pub-

without an improvd road and often thru deep, hevy mud, and severe

Being at grat distans from larj librariz, it waz nesesary to pur-

This privat library haz bin frely open to the publik, and many per-

selekting buks for eny line ov referens or study. The buks wer aranjd 
in four romz konekting with hiz ofis under Masonik Hal in the biz-

which waz organizd and fosterd by Doktor Slocum, and ov other 
organizashons, and individuals, who desird to konfer regarding kwes- 
chons ov publik utility, or on subjekts literary, sientifik, muzikal, etc. 

Realizing that many ov thez buks had servd their purpos to him, 
and that tha might hav a wider usefulnes elswher, their oner began 
their distribushon in the yer 1905. Sum went to personal f rends ho 
wud mak gud use ov them ; others wer sent to Defiance Kolej ; others

The trustez ov the last namd institushon, in konstrukting the nu 
Carnegie Library Bilding, adapted a larj part for Doktor Slocum's

Hon. Elliott Truax^° Slocum (Giles B.,^ Jeremiah/ Giles,'' 
Jonathan,^ Joseph/' Giles/ Sa/nuel/ Giles/ Anthony/) was born 15 
May, 1839, near the Village of Trenton, Wayne County, Michigan, 
and was there reared. He was prepared for college at the Rev. Moses 
H. Hunter's School for Boys on Grosse Isle, Detroit River, near his 
home.* He entered Union College, Schenectady, New. York, and 

*Rev. Moses Hoge Hunter held diplomas from Yale and Princeton. He 
was an Episcopal minister in charge of the chapel on Grosse Isle, but his 
duties there gave him time for teaching a select school for boys. This 
school was patronized by wealthy residents of Detroit, Adrian, Toledo, Cleve- 
land, etc. The teacher was a good disciplinarian and succeeded in getting 
the respect and good will of his pupils. T/ie Detroit Free Press of July 29, 
1906, printed a long article regarding this teacher and the boys in attendance 
in 1855, and the compact signed by fourteen of them to meet there again after 
twenty years. This meeting was so enjoyable they resolved to meet again 
after ten years. Rev. Hunter went in 1861 to the Civil War as chaplain 
of the Third Pennsylvania Cavalry. He returned to Grosse Isle and was 
in charge of the chapel there at the first reunion of these 'boys' now men, in 
1875. In this year he accepted a call to St. Mary's, Maryland, but his^ former 
pupils of the compact brought him back for their reunion in 1885. Other re- 
unions were held after the master was unable to attend; and the attendance 



440 THE SLOCUMS OF AMERICA 

was there graduated A. B. in 1862. In 1869 he received the degree 
of Master of Arts from the University of Michigan. 

After leaving college he assisted his father in looking after their 
large land, lumber and farming interests, which they enlarged and 
extended until they became widely extended and valuable. Mean- 
time, with his father, he was active in raising men and money for 
their equipment against the Southern Rebellion. 

Since the death of his father in 1884, Mr. Slocum has continued 
these landed interests. He has large tracts of timber and other lands 
in Wayne, Muskegon, Oceana, Newaygo and Kent Counties, Michi- 
gan, and is the owner of large tracts of valuable timbered lands in 
upper Michigan and Wisconsin. 

In 1887 he platted the Village of Slocum's Grove, now Slo- 
cum Postoffice, which is situated by Crockery Creek in the 
midst of one of his large tracts of timber in Muskegon County. A 
large lumber mill, also a planing mill, and charcoal kilns, are (1907) 
in operation there. 

His first vote was cast for Abraham Lincoln, and he has since been 
a stanch Republican. Has served as delegate to many State Con- 
ventions. In 1869 he was elected State Senator from the Third 
District, which was strongly Democratic; and he has taken active 
part in many other Senatorial contests for his party. 

He was married 30 July, 1872, to Charlotte Gross Wood, daugh- 
ter of the late Ransom E. Wood, an old resident and capitalist of 
Grand Rapids, Michigan. Mrs. Slocum's name appears as the 
founder of the Slocum Lectures in the University of Michigan, 
1894. Those by Robert Afton Holland on The Commonwealth of 
Man, were published by the Putnams in 1905. Mrs. Slocum died 
6 June, 1 89 1, of cancer, in Dresden, Saxony, where she found no 
relief from her affliction. 

In 1884 Mr. Slocum succeeded his father as trustee of the Sara- 
toga Monument Association, New York, and with George William 
Curtis, S. S. Cox, John H. Starin, and others, took active part in 
the erection of one of the most artistic monuments In existence, on 

grew less and less in 1890, and 1900. A meeting was called for 1905 but 
the enfeebled health of the members at a distance prevented; and in 1906 the 
death of A. M. Wilcox, on Catalina Island, Calif., left Mr. Slocum the only 
survivor. Much was done by Mr. Slocum, and a few other members of the 
compact, to relieve the wants of their ohl master, also of the matron, Mrs. 
White, in charge of their lodgings on Grosse Isle while pupils, in their de- 
clining years.

the Battlefield of the British Army's surrender by General Bur- 
goyne in 1777. This is at Schuylerville, Saratoga County, New 
York, near the home of Mr. Slocum's grandfather's family.

*It is reported of this lawyer William King Slocumb that, when he was 
defending a man who was unduly accused, and the public interest was con- 
siderably aroused regarding the case, he became so annoyed by the loud and 
severe statements of the State's Attorney against his client in the closing ad- 
dress to the jury, that he hurried from the Court Room and, seeing a large 
fierce-looking bull hitched in front, he loosed the chain holding him, jumped 
on his back and guided him into the hall of the Court House where the animal 
bellowed fiercely, raising his voice far above that of the State's Attorney. Every- 
one present at the trial, including the judge, court officers and jury, alarmed, 
rushed to the stairs and at once discovering the situation, became so con- 
vulsed with laughter and good humor that a verdict of 'not guilty' was 
declared by the jury as soon as sufficient quiet could be restored. The story 
of this trial is yet told by the old men of the vicinity in' Sampson County, 
North Carolina.

THE SLOCOMBS OF AMERICA 



"I am the oldest one of the name in this County [Wayne] and only 
know of my grandfather, Jesse, and my great-grandfather, Ezekiel . . . 
I have nothing but tradition for the statement that our ancestors immigrated 
from England somewhere in 1680 or 1690, and as I said in a previous letter, 
settled near Newbern on a creek which flows into Neuse River, and still 
bears their name." 

The tradition has lost with time, and now applies only to the mi- 
gration from the Albemarle to the Neuse River region; and the 
writer's letters to him mentioning the great success attending his 
searches, calls forth no response! See ante Families I, lA and on- 
ward. The changes in Thomas W.'s family since the publication 
of Volume I, are additions, viz. :

Capt. Simon Slocombe was married 28 August, 1701, in Bos- 
ton, Massachusetts, by 'Mr. Benjamin Coleman' to Abigail 'Wheetly,' 
who was born 9 June, 1677. She died there in 1707. He was mar- 
ried 2nd in Boston, 11 November, 1708, by 'Mr. Benjamin Wads- 
worth' to Eliza Casheer.* 

His name was spelled in these records first as Slocom, and second 
Slocomc; and 'Slocom' in record of 'Intention' to marry. 

He was a coasting mariner; his sloop Success arrived in Boston 
Harbor 7 July, 17 16, from a voyage to Maryland. 

The letters of Colonel Thomas Westbrook and othersf show that 
the sloop Sea Floiver, of about sixty tons register, and carrying four 
guns, was a Transport in the service of Great Britain northeast- 
ward from Boston, and was under command of Capt. Simon Slo- 
com, Master and Pilot in 1723, 1724, 1725 and perhaps for a 
longer period. 

Captain Slocum and wives had the following children, all born 
in Boston and recorded there with the spelling 'Slocum.' By first 
marriage:

Capt. Simon- Slocomr {Simon, ^) was born 26 July, 1705, in 
Boston, Massachusetts. He married in old Wrentham Township, 
that part now Franklin Township, Abigail* Metcalf, born 18 Jan- 
uary, 1 713, daughter of Eleazer^ (Eleazer,- Michael,^) a husband- 
man who, 

In consideration of that parental love and affection that I bear toward my 
well-beloved son-in-law, Simon Slocomb of Wrentham, clothier, and for their 
more comfortable subsistence, freely give unto said Simon Slocomb and Abi- 
gail, his wife, to be accounted to them as £80 as part of their portion of 
my estate after my decease, twenty-six acres of land in Wrentham. 

He was commissioned "Ensign of the first foot Company in the 
town of Wrentham, Baruch Pond [his brother-in-law] Captain, in 
the first Regiment of Militia" ... 2 July, 1744, by William 
Shirley, Governor, etc.* In the expedition against the French in 
Canada, 25 May, 1757, he commanded a company of soldiers. This 
company served until 26 June, 1760. He memorialized Lieut. -Gov, 
Thomas Hutchinson, 18 January, 1760, also the General Court at 
Boston, in behalf of his soldiers who were enlisted in the Province 
of Massachusetts Bay for the relief of the garrison of Fort Cumber- 
land, Nova Scotia, they being there held overtime and, having farms 
of their own and families at home, were uneasy and discontented. 
They were discharged as above. f 

*His name in this commission is spelled 'Simon Slocomb Gent:' that is, 
a gentleman, a man of oaality or class. 

This commission was in the possession of the venerable David Everett 
Phillips, Columbus, Ohio, in 1907.

A Captain Simon Slocomb was a member of the House of As- 
sembly, Province of Nova Scotia, Canada, 4 December, 1759. If 
Captain Simon, ^ Family 666, was living at this date, he was probably 
eighty years or more of age, and the writer sees no objection to 
identifying Capt. Simon- as this Assemblyman. In later years Simon- 
was a farmer. Late in life he went to live with his son Achilles in 
Templeton, where he died, 12 March, 1790. His estate was ad- 
ministered by his son Samuel. See Volume I, page 500. Children,

*See The Revoluhonary JVar Rolls of MassachuseHs for account of this 
and other soldiers. 

t Here is an interesting illustration of cliange in name. Christened 'Achilles' 
from the Greek legendary warrior, in old Wrentham, a later record clerk un- 
derstood the pronunciation A-pe-les, or Apelles, the name of a famous Greek 
painter, and the last was from this time liis designation, throughout life — or, 
rather, its abbreviation, Peiles; Pel. for common use. His niece, Mrs. Sara 
E. Eaton, with loving memory and tenacity, wrote to the writer of him as 
Uncle Pel.' The name of his son, Apelles, became changed to Apollos, 
probably by a Bible reader who thought the form Apelles an error.

Templeton, Massachusetts, where the births of six of their children

ruary, 1874 to August, 1877, shows that she had been a close student 
of the necessity for towns, cities and counties, giving close surveil- 
lance over the forming of habits, and control of children, particularly 
of those who had no home, or were not properly cared for at home. 
This organization was turned over to Scioto County in 1877.

Nova Scotia, was educated there in the district school, and in the 
Provincial Normal School in Truro, N. S. He received from the 
Council of Public Instruction a license, and taught Public Schools 
several j^ars. 

Having decided to enter the Christian ministry, he took the course

labors in this field were shortened by a fire which destroyed the 
church edifice. 

After doing missionary work for some months in Maine, he was 
married 24 May, 1894, in Plymouth, Mass., by Rev. Silas S. Morse, 
to Annie Warren Ellis, who was there born 5 February, 1865, 
daughter of George Francis, son of Bartlett Ellis, and Ann Maria,

Rev. Joel Byron" Slocum {Joel,^ Joshua t/./ John,^ John,'^ 
Simon ^) v\'as born i February, 1868, on a farm near Mount Han- 
ley, Nova Scotia, Canada. When quite young he went to Boston, 
Massachusetts, and was employed as a clerk in a large publishing 
house. He brought a church letter from home, and Avith it joined 
The Tremont Temple Church, Boston. 

He saved his earnings; entered The Worcester, Mass., Academy 
for one year, and completed his college preparatory work in the Bos- 
ton School of Languages. He was graduated at Colby College, 
Waterville, Maine, in 1893; was chaplain of his college class, class 
historian, and commencement speaker. He entered New^ton Theo- 
logical Institute in 1893, and was there graduated in 1896. 

He was ordained as a Christian minister by a Council called by 
The Tremont Temple Baptist Church, 19 June, 1896. He filled 
a pulpit in Westbrook, Maine, for some months. Was married in 
Brookline, Mass., 3 February, 1897, ^'^ Jean Irene Bergland, born 
16 October, 1865, in Galesburg, Illinois, daughter of Lewis and 
Hanna (Ericson). She was graduated at Knox College, Galesburg, 
and the Chicago and Boston Schools of Orator}'. She became a 
public humorous and dramatic reader, and traveled extensively as such 
before her marriage. 

In June, 1897, Colby College gave him the degree of A. M. This 
year he accepted the pastorate of The First Baptist Church, Laconia, 
New Hampshire. In 1898 he was called to The First Baptist 
Church, Concord, N. H., as successor of Dr. Cephas B. Crane. Dur- 
ing this pastorate he was chosen Chaplain of the New Hampshire 
Legislature. He also occupied important positions in the Baptist 
work in this State. In the summer of 1899 Mr. and Mrs. Slocum 
went abroad, making a special visit to Japan as correspondent of the 
Boston Traveler newspaper. Returning to his pulpit in Concord, 
he gave some attention to lecturing in connection with his regular

work ; also made addresses at religious conventions both in and out 
of the State. 

Rev. Slocum read his resignation at Concord 27 September, 1903, 
to accept call to The First Baptist Church, Columbus, Ohio, the 
hrst of November. Here he remained until the spring of 1907, re- 
<5igning to accept call to one of the leading Baptist Churches in 
Jrooklyn, New York, The Greenwood, with 700' members, and a 
Sunday School of 775. During his pastorate in Columbus, there was 
a substantial increase in membership, and he left the church in good 
healthy condition. One of the leading newspapers of Columbus at 
this time reads in part as follows: 

The loss of a minister of the gospel so forceful, so energetic 
and untiring in his efforts to help every member of his congre- 
gation, will be deeply felt by every member of his flock and, in 
fact, by every church worker in the city. During his stay in Columbus, Rev 
Mr. Slocum won a multitude of friends. In all his endeavors here he was 
ably seconded by the efforts of his wife, who was a leader in the missionary 
and other church work of the Baptist circles of the city. 

Reverend and Mrs. Joel B. Slocum have children, viz.:

Capt. Joshua'^ Slocum (Jolin,^ Joshua U.,* John,^ Johnr 
Simon,'^) was born in Wilmot Township, Annapolis County, Nova 
Scotia, Canada, 20 February, 1844. A seafaring man from early 
life. See Volume I, page 551. He married Virginia Walker in 
Sidney, New South Wales, Australia, in January, 1871. She died 
in 1885, at Buenos Ayres Roads, Brazil; was buried there in the 
English Cemetery. Was married second in 1886, Boston, Mass., to 
Henrietta M. Elliot, daughter of Charles and Ruth, of Port George, 
Nova Scotia. 

His first command on the high seas was along the coast of Cali- 
fornia in 1869; sailed for thirteen years from San Francisco to China, 
Australia, the Spice Islands and Japan. During these years he was 
a close student of nautical astronomy and marine architecture.* 

*In 1881 he was Master and part owner of the good ship. Northern Light, 
(see Volume I) and, in Oceanica 10 December, 1882, he picked up five 
natives of the Gilbert Islands who had been drifting about in a small frail 
craft before the Monsoon forty days, barely subsisting on a scant supply of 
dried fruit and the little rainwater they could catch. Seven of the twelve who

Possessing a good degree of natural ingenuity, he readily put his 
studies and observations to practical use, and built some superior 
boats, among which were a steamer of 90 tons register at Olongapo, 
Subig Bay, Luzon, Philippine Islands, in 1874; the Liberdade; and 
the Spray of nine tons register which has made him famous as a dar- 
ing and successful navigator, even 'The King of Many Waters.' He 
built the Spray at Fairhaven, Massachusetts, in 1892; and he com- 
pleted a voyage around the world in it alone in 1898, wholly with 
sails. 

Captain Slocum is a pleasing and forceful writer, and as his de- 
scriptions of his voyages are very entertaining and instructive, they 
have been widely read. They are published as follows, viz: The 
Voyage of the Liberdade from Brazil to New York, 189 1 ; Voyage 
of the Destroyer J 1894. This was a Brazilian war vessel which he 
commanded from New York to Brazil. His book Sailing Alone 
Around the World, New York, 1900, first published in The Century 
Magazine, 1899, 1900, won for the brave Captain high honors at 
home and abroad. Among the high commendations, the writer can- 
not refrain from quoting the following from a personal letter to Cap- 
tain Slocum from Edwin Arnold, dated London, January 7, 1901, 
which reads in part, viz. : 

. . . . I admire beyond measure the heroism and splendid self reliance of 
your unparalled feat, and have put you not only in my gallery of heroes, but 
in my heart as a man I love for showing what men can do. Never will your 
achievement be surpassed until we all sail together across those wider and 
even more wonderful seas that separate planet from planet, and star from 
star. . . . 

Captain Slocum has an article in the Outing magazine of March, 
1906, entitled 'Bully Hayes, the Last Buccaneer.' A sketch of him 
with portrait appeared in Outing October, ig02, written by C. 
Johnson. 

He has also won high commendations as a lecturer. In 'Twelfth 
Night Revels' written for the Twentieth Century Club, New York, 
January 7, 1901, appears the following tribute to him: 

had started for a neighboring island had perished 'from thirst' (?). Captain 
Slocum and his good wife nursed them back to health, clothed them, and 
finally succeeded in getting them back to their island, Apamana. Captain 
Slocum, in transmitting the photograph from which the accompanying en- 
graving is made, quotes from Sindbad the Sailor the expression of such humane 
acts "for the sake of God, whose Name be Exalted."

AND THEIR ALLIANCES 483 



Remember all the questions of the day 

We've heard discussed in such a trenchant way, 

By men who with such knowing wisdom wrought, 

As made us masters of the things they taught. 

Ah, yes ! who will may summon at their ease 

A host of fascinating memories! 

And two there are — which I confess for me 

Stand to the fore — the sunny memory 

Of Captain Slocum, whose naive surprise 

At his own Yankee wit, danced in his eyes 

And lighted up his genial, kindly face. 

The while he told with such delightful grace 

The tale of his lone voyage around the world. 

The other, that of Edward Everett Hale — 

Who'll e'er forget that wondrous inner light 

That seemed to shine in look and mien, that night 

He spoke to us with such rare eloquence? 

The Captain is, withal, a modest man. His last communication 
to the writer, transmitting the record of his family, shows this, and 
that he retains his love for the excellent sailing qualities of his fav- 
orite and widely famed sloop, viz. : 

On board the Spray, Block Island, R. I., Nov. 15th, 1906. 
Doctor Charles E. Slocum, Defiance, Ohio. 

Dear Doctor Slocum. — My mails have not reached me on time of late, hence 
the delay in my reply to your circular. 

Your first book, which came to me at Yokohoma, Japan, years ago, was 
a work to be proud of. I regret that I have not been able to be, myself, a 
better subject among my kin — to have added an interesting line. 

Very sincerely,

(jEorge' Sloco.mbe, with surname spelled Slacum (give broad 
sound to the a) and several other ways, has been found by the 
writer earliest recorded in the Archives of Maryland, viz.: 

1695, <^>ctober 3-19, Assembly Proceedings. George Slacum; his accompt 
examined for bringing the Cage Whipping post pillory and Stone from 
London Tovvne to Annapolis referred to the County for his pay being the 
proper goods of the County. 

1697 ( ?) A Bill for the Naturalization of Stephen ffrancis and George 
Slacombe read the first time. 

^697, June 2. The above bill read the second tyme and passed. 

1697, June II, An Act for the Naturalizacon of Stephen ffrancis an Italian 
& Cieorge Slaycombe a German borne* read and assented 

It is inferred that this. George Slocombe became Master at Arms 
of the Maryland Assembly, as the record reads in volume xxvi of 
the Archives in part as follows: 

1705, May 25. . . . It is ffurther Remarqd that the Hon: ble Mr 
Tench Col Addison Mr Brooks Mr Cheseldjn and Mr Coursey are not al- 
lowed for their Attendance in Councill this or the last Session of Assembly 
neither is there allowed for the Great Scale as usuall for the two Several 
Prorogations between Septr & December nor any thing for your Copy of 
the Laws. ... & fifty two shill paid to George Slacomb to put a stopp 
to the Members coming to the Assembly. . . . 

1700, March 20. George Slacom sold his house and lot. No. 40, 

in Annapolis, Md., to Amos Garrett. 

He was granted land in Dorchester County, Md., as follows: 
1 713, Nov. 24. In tract called "Priviledge, manor of Nanticoke, 

174 acres." 

*This question of naturalization of these two men is repeated several times 
in different parts of the records, and was apparently agreed to different 
times. The question was finally settled in the affirmative at the session of 
April 26 to May 9, 1700. The exceptions made from time to time are not 
definitelv stated; but their foreign birth — outside the realm of Great Britain 
— is the inferred cause. Many English children were born in foreign ports, 
on shipboard and in cities. The names in question are both English, and 
tlie parentage English, on the father's side at least, but these men may not 
have had ready proof of British citizenship.

"George Sleicome's Will," on record at Annapolis, Maryland, is 
a short document, made 11 October, 1725. It names sons George 
and Job as heirs to his lands, and . . . "my wife is supposed 
to be with child which, if a son after my decease, gets remainder;" if 
a daughter, land goes to son George. His wife Sarah is named sole 
executrix. This will was proved 26 November, 1825. Children:

George- Slocombe {George,^) surname often written Slocum, 
was born about the beginning of the i8th century, in Maryland. He 
received grants of land in old Dorchester County as follows: in 1740, 
1747, when he went before the court and "set forth that his father, 
George Slacum, 10 Sep., 17 16, received Grant for parcel of land 
called Priviledge, 174 acres under New Rent, and by his Will" 
. . George- received further grants in 1759, 1764, 1765, the last 
being for 422 acres of the tract called 'Slacombs Cow Pasture.' 
He deeded land in old Dorchester County, 14 January, 1785, for 
the consideration of £246 los gold 'or silver money of equal value.' 
No account of his death has been found. Perhaps he followed his 
sons to Pennsylvania, after the sale of his land mentioned above. 
Children, perhaps not all born in the order given, viz. : 

i. Amos. Went to Pennsylvania in early life. Was there granted 

400 acres of land 5 November, 1792.

three tracts or parcels, two being Little Slycamp (in another place 
spelled Sleicome) granted to his father 16 April, 1715, and 'Sla- 
com's Lett' originally granted 8 February, 1738 to Job's brother 
George. Further grants were received in 1754, 104 acres; 1766, 403 
acres. No further account of him has been found. Children: 

i. Job. July 12, 1776, the committee of observation of the Mary- 
land Council of Safety during the Revolutionary War, reported 
in part that: . . . "It is said Clarkson bears a very ill 
character as to holding a communication with & carrying men in 
his boat to the Tenters. And we have just now been informed 
that one Job Slacom Jr of this County [Dorchester] will prove 
that Clarkson endeavored to persuade him & some others to 
go with him on board the Tenders and join Lord Dunmore, but 
as the guard was setting off with the Prisoners we could not 
delay them until we sent a summons for Slacom. There were 
several other persons apprehended in this County on suspicion of 
being unfriendly and having a communication with the enemy, 
but upon our enquiring into their conduct, we could fix nothing 
criminal on them & therefore discharged them." . . . — Ar- 
chives of Maryland. 

Job Slocum, Jr., was granted land in Dorchester Co. in 1790 
and 1792. 'Job Slocumb and Anne Slocumb' gave Deed 13 
Oct., 1819, to John Williams, to tracts of land in Worcester Co., 
Md., called Addition to Handy's Security, Handy's Frolic, and 
Low Meadows. Whether this is the above Job or his son, is

that would probably be interesting in this writing. As in many other 
counties, the younger people went to the cities. "If any Slocums or 
Slocombs lived in our County for the last thirty years, I have never 
heard of them" wrote the Register of Wills for Dorchester County

Robert C.^ Slocombe, the surname spelled Slocum, Slockum, etc., 
is found recorded in the Accomac County Records, Accomac, Vir- 
ginia; first in an assignment of land by him to James 'Macoame,' 
2 February, 1708; also before the Court again 25 July, and 5 Septem- 
ber, 1 7 10. His Will was made 6 March, 17 18. His 'loving brother 
Thomas Ryley' was named as sole executor. He died in the year 
1724, his estate being inventoried 5 August, 1724. It is presumed 
that he married a sister of the above named Thomas Ryley. Children:

he and his brother Thomas gave to William Andrews Deed to 
"Plantation where Robert Slocomb (Elder) lately lived, near 
head of Messongo Branch, 100 acres, in Accomac Co., Va." 
Before Court, about 1743, he acknowledged his Indenture to 
Nathaniel Shad. William Andrews gave Deed 26 March, 1744, 
to the above-named plantation, to Riley Slocomb, planter; and 
Riley deeded this land to Nathaniel Shay 26 May, 1747. Riley 
died intestate, and his estate was administered 4 April, 1749, in 
Worcester Co., Md.

Capt. Cuthbert Harrison^ Slocomb {Samuel B.,^ Willia/n/ 
Robert/ Robert C./)was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. He mar- 
ried Miss A — Day, who was there born . 

He enlisted in the Confederate Army for the Civil War, going out 
in 1862 in charge of the Fifth Company, Battalion of the Washington 
Artillery, New Orleans, through Tennessee ; defense of New Or- 
leans, etc. Their last stand was at Spanish Fort near Mobile, where 
his command was given charge of a Columbiad, cast in the Con- 
federate foundry at Selma, Alabama, in 1863. The Federal forces 
captured the Confederate forces here in April, 1865.* 

*The later interest taken in the columbiad cannon, of Capt. Slocomb's com- 
mand, inclines the writer to sketch its historj'. The cannon is ten feet long, 
two feet in diameter at the breech, has a bore of eight inches, and is forty 
inclies in circumference at the muzzle. It was well mounted, with three em- 
brasures to fire to the front, left and right. Capt. Slocomb's command was very 
proud of the handsome cannon and, in honor of their captain's wife, they 
named it Lady Slocomb, which name is yet in use. This gun was fired 
144 charges; consumed 1,440 pounds of powder, and threw 7,592 pounds of 
iron, and it was without molecular expansion or depreciation when her mount- 
ings were disabled — and along the e:itire two miles of Confederate batteries 
"there was no gun which did near so much execution as did 'Lady Slocomb'." 
Three Federal shot disabled her: one struck the carriage, one broke the trun- 
nion, and one broke the elevating screw. Fifteen men were killed and wounded, 
of the command of this gun, during this siege. The remaining members of 
Captain Slocomb's command, when it was disabled, rolled the gun off the 
embankment into a 'slush hole' and covered it, that it might not fall into Fed- 
eral hands. 

'Lady Slocomb' The Historic Gun of Spanish Fort 

Deep in the grass that greener grew. 
That once it was stained a crimson hue. 
The old gun lay 'neath the sun and the dew. 

Like a warrior in his mail; 
Prone on the field where war's high-tide 
Had stranded it, yet with voiceless pride 
It guarded the spot where men had died, 

Who had rather die than fail. 

It guarded the trenches which scarred the hill. 
Like furrows of tears, and saw them fill 
With waves of jessamine flowers, until 

The frown of the field was gone; 
And it watched 'till the men who clinched in the fray, 
The brothers in Blue and the brothers in Gray, 
Clasped hands o'er the Gun which liad thundered that day. 

True Sentry — your vigil is done. 

M. C, in T/ie Mobile Register, 1891. 

The sentiment regarding this interesting relic increased. It was moved 
from its seclusion in late years and carried to Mobile, seven miles west across 
the Bay, where it was purchased by Henry Badger, a prominent Confederate 
of that place, who had served through the war, and knew of the excellence

Captain Slocomb was a dealer in improved live stock, particularly 
horses, and he built a race course at New Orleans. He there died 
about 1880. Mrs. Slocomb has passed some summers at Groton, Con- 
necticut. They had one child, viz.: 

Cora Ann Slocomb, born in New Orleans, Louisiana. She married Count 

di Brazza-Savorgnan, of Italy. They attended The World's Columbian Ex- 
position, Chicago, 1893, together, where he represented his country, Italy, 
in the Agricultural Congress, and she lectured on Life of the Italian Women in 
the Country, and served as President of The Committee of Italian Ladies 
Formed for the Exhibition of Italian Laces. Their exhibition, given in the 
Women's Building, was large, interesting and valuable in different senses. 
There were fifty-seven exhibitors, who received thirty-three medals, and the 
Countess Cora Slocomb di Brazza received medal for the collection of antique 
lace, and another for her book especially written for the occasion entitled. 
Old and New Lace in Italy, 'a learned treatise on textile art.' She is a 
pleasing, forceful writer. She published in 1896 a i2mo volume of 244 
pages entitled An American Idyll, Boston, The Arena Publishing Company. 

In 1897 she was one of the prime movers in the International Peace Ar- 
bitration Movement, lecturing in Chicago in its interest. Its offices are in 
Washington, D. C, and Bern, Switzerland. 

Count di Brazza was President of The International Postal Union in 1897.

of the gun, and of the sentiment surrounding it. It soon came into possession 
of The Blue and Gray Veterans' Union of Mobile, Alabama, which Union 
was happily organized 4 July 1890, on the Battlefield of Spanish Fort and 
Blakely for the following purposes, viz.: 

"To aid and foster fraternal feelings between those opposed to each other 
during the Civil War; to discourage everything that shall tend to arouse 
the animosities of the past; to keep green the memories of our heroic dead; 
to meet in reunion annually, and to take measures to effect the erection of 
a monument commemorative of the valor of American soldiers, and the last 
battle of the war — Spanish Fort and Blakely — to be known as the Peace 
Monument, and erected in Mobile, Ala." 

Upon learning of the action of The Blue and Gray Veterans' Union of 
Mobile, The Veterans of Slocomb's Battery, " Fifth Company, Battalion of 
Washington Artillery, New Orleans," wrote to the Secretary of The United 
States Treasury, Washington, D. C, setting forth their sentimental claim to, 
and petitioning the right to purchase ' The Lady Slocomb,' which, at official 
headquarters, Washington, had become registered as Derelict, R. S. 3755. 
The Veterans' Union also presented their sentimental claim, and right to the 
cannon by purchase. After much correspondence and evidence, it was decided 
that 'The Lady Slocomb" be given into possession of The Battalion of Wash- 
ington Artillery, New Orleans.

When Cuthbert was ten years of age, his father's negroes left him, 
from President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation; then an acci- 
dental fire destroyed his dwelling, all of which necessitated active 
work of the members of the family and less educational advantages. 

Starting out for himself, he went to Hannibal, Mo., in March, 
1881 ; and to Texas in March, 1882. He remained here, and in In- 
dian Territory, until 1892, when he returned to Virginia and en- 
gaged in mercantile business in Onancock. This business he sold, 
and established himself in Pocomoke City, Va., as bricklayer and con-

May, 1907; and from Mr. Slocomb, who is pleasant company, 
learned much regarding the later Slocomb residents on the East

Mv Dear Nephew, Edwin M. Slocombe: — I was pleased to hear from 
you, although I fear I cannot help you much — but my aunt Mary Reed told 
me that she visited her grandmother, who lived in Crenkern, Somerset, whose 
first husband was the father of Henry Slocombe my grandfather. She (Mrs. 
Slocombe) was a sister of one Colonel Murray, who figured largely in Par- 
liament, and who is still much admired by the Scotch. He is mentioned in 
history (I forgot where I read it) and the Edinburgh School Board use a 
book of history in which he is mentioned. The Murrays were illegitimate 
children of [King] James. One or two of that clan are dukes. So, now, 
we have Mary Murray. I think my great-grandfather was Henry Slocombe, 
who died, and Mrs. Slocombe married a second time to a Mr. Potter, of 
Crenkern. I cannot find out more than this now. If I can I will do so.

Sidney Slocombe {Samuel.) born 18 December, 1856, in West- 
bury, County Somerset, England; came to America about the year 
1876. He married 17 October, 1878, in Mottville, Onondaga Co., 
New York, Urana Nettleton, born 4 December, 1854, in Renfew, 
Canada, daughter of Samuel Stafford and Elizabeth (Burns) Net- 
tleton. In 1892 Sidney resided in Marcellus, Onondaga Co., N- Y., 
a tinsmith and dealer in stoves and house furnishings. In 1906 he 
was residing in Syracuse, N. Y. 

His father was the youngest of twenty-one children, all of whom 
"were obliged to shift for themselves at a very early age, with no edu- 
cation whatever. This accounts for the fact that they did not know 
what became of each other after leaving their native village." Sid- 
ney's father was "an honest, hardworking man ;" had but five child- 
ren, two of whom died in infancy. Of those remaining in 1892, 
Caroline lived in London, Eng., and Sidney's younger brother lived 
in Camillus, N. Y., unmarried. 

Job Slocombe, Avho came to East Syracuse, N. Y., about 1828, 
see ante page 6, was Sidney's uncle, one of the twenty-one in the 
family mentioned above.

Evidence regarding the wisdom of General Henry W. Slocum's 
General Order against the organization of Mississippi State Troops 
during his command of the Department of the Mississippi (see page 
392) is given in McClure's Magazine, pages 44 to 49, for May, 
1908, article entitled First Days of the Reconstruction, by Carl 
Schurz. 

An Historical Monument of White Bronze, hight over sixteen 
feet, was erected in 1908 by Charles E. Slocum, Family 618, on a 
plat in the new Hill Cemetery, Northville, New York, which 
embraces the remains of four generations of Slocums, who in their 
lives contributed to the clearing of the land and to the development 
of the beautiful village which has been a summer resort of city 
people. The entire American lineage is given on the Monument, 
with sketch of each family from Anthony^, and children of each 
family, through Eleazer*^, Family 117, the first of the four genera- 
tions there buried, with and from which Family more of detail is 
given, through his son Joseph', Family 249, and grandson Caleb 
W.'^, Family 481, with his eleven children. Mention is made of 
the principal events in the life of each of the nine generations, includ- 
ing those deceased of Family 481. 

A lifesize figure of Hope caps the Monument, all parts of which 
are proportionate with artistic design. 

The inscriptions are very plain, throughout their great extent. 
The Monument is immediately surrounded with a cement walk, 
and like walks lead from the edges of the plat to each of the four 
faces, affording convenient approaches and pleasant standing places 
for the numerous visitors who desire to observe every detail — each 
visitor going away with report of a Monument w^'th new and great 
significance. 

Page 10, first words of third paragraph, should read. Bog iron ore. 
Page 281, Family 305 B first line, should read Alexander Twin- 
ning^ Slocum. 

Page 389, in first line of second paragraph, read North Carolina.
